The Slovakia–Ukraine border is an internationally established boundary between Slovakia and Ukraine. Both countries inherited it from their previous respective state organizations, Ukraine from the Soviet Union and Slovakia from Czechoslovakia.
Slovak and Ukrainian boundary markers
The current border was established after World War II and stretches for 97 km (60 mi). After the admission of Slovakia to the European Union, the border became part of the external border of the European Union. Ukraine's Uzhhorod Airport is located at the border. [1]
