The Cogalnic River (also Cogâlnic, Kogylnik, Kogîlnic, or Kunduk) is a 183 km river in Moldova and south-western Ukraine. The Cogalnic rises in the hills of Nisporeni District in the Codri region west of the Moldovan capital, Chişinău. It flows through the cities of Hînceşti, Cimişlia and Basarabeasca, and then into the Budjak, past Artsyz and into the Prichernomorskoy lowlands of the Odessa Oblast (province) of Ukraine. Together with the Sarata River it enters the Sasyk Liman and thence into the Black Sea.
