Basarabeasca is a town in southern Moldova beside the Ukrainian border. Its railway junction has played a central role in the town's economy and development.

## Notes

Basarabeasca is the Romanian civic name; supplied Ukrainian Бессарабка is not the native local spelling. Romanovca/Romanovka and Românești occur in historical accounts; French and English founding/renaming chronology needs caution.
