## About

Ungheni is a city in western Moldova on the Prut, opposite Romania. Its railway bridge and border crossing make it an important link between the two countries.

## Notes

Distinguish the Moldovan city from the settlement also called Ungheni on the Romanian bank. Input label 'Унгени' is Ukrainian or an indirect spelling; local\_name is restored to the native-language form.
