The Zbruch (Ukrainian: Збруч; Polish: Zbrucz) is a river in Western Ukraine, a left tributary of the Dniester.

As it was mentioned above, the river flows through the Podolia Upland sneaking past the Podolian hills also known as Medobory for their honey-bearing flora (literally: Med - honey and Bory - forests).

Medobory stretches from the northeastern part of the Lviv Region to the northern borders of the Republic of Moldova.

The Zbruch had international significance following the first partition of Poland when between 1772 and 1793 the river was a border between Poland-Lithuania and Habsburg monarchy.

After the Treaty of Riga the Polish-Soviet border was established in the area, running along the river (this situation lasted until 1939).
