The Kundryuchya rises on the Donets Ridge in the Ukrainian Luhansk Oblast. It flows east into Russia's Rostov Oblast, cutting a deep valley into the mountainous region. The river is mainly fed by snowmelt.[1] Between late November and mid-March, the river is covered by a layer of ice.[1] The river has a length of 244 km and drains an area of 2320 km2. The town of Krasny Sulin lies on the course of the river.
