👉 Volhynian-Podolian Upland in the context of East European Plain
The East European Plain (also called the Russian Plain, or historically the Sarmatic Plain) is a vast interior plain extending east of the North European Plain, and comprising several plateaus stretching roughly from 25 degrees longitude eastward. It includes Volhynian-Podolian Upland on its westernmost fringe, the Central Russian Upland, and, on the eastern border, encompasses the Volga Upland. The plain includes also a series of major river basins such as the Dnieper Lowland, the Oka–Don Lowland, and the Volga Basin. At the southeastern point of the East European Plain are the Caucasus and Crimean mountain ranges. Together with the North European Plain (covering much of Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and Poland), and covering the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), European Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, southeastern Romania, and, at its southernmost point, the Danubian Plain in Northern Bulgaria (including Ludogorie and Southern Dobruja), it constitutes the majority of the Great European Plain (European Plain), the greatest mountain-free part of the European landscape. The plain spans approximately 4,000,000 km (2,000,000 sq mi) and averages about 170 m (560 ft) in elevation. The highest point of the plain (480 metres (1,574.8 ft)) is in the Bugulma-Belebey Upland, in the Eastern part of the plain, in the elevated area by the Ural Mountains (priyralie).

Volhynian-Podolian Upland in the context of Southern Bug
The Southern Bug, also called Southern Buh (Ukrainian: Південний Буг, romanized: Pivdennyi Buh; Russian: Южный Буг, romanized: Yuzhny Bug; Crimean Tatar: Aq Suv; Romanian: Bugul de Sud or just Bug), and sometimes Boh River (Ukrainian: Бог; Polish: Boh), is a navigable river located in Ukraine. It is the second-longest river flowing exclusively in Ukraine.
While located in relatively close proximity, the river should not be confused with Western Bug or Bug which flows in opposite direction towards Baltics. The source of the Southern Bug is in the west of Ukraine, in the Volhynian-Podolian Upland, about 145 kilometres (90 miles) from the Polish border, from where it flows southeasterly into the Bug Estuary (Black Sea basin) through the southern steppes (see Granite-steppe lands of Buh park). It is 806 kilometres (501 miles) long and drains 63,700 square kilometres (24,600 sq mi).
Volhynian-Podolian Upland in the context of Dnieper Upland
The Dnieper Upland or Cisdnieper Upland (Ukrainian: Придніпровська височина, romanized: Prydniprovska vysochyna, lit. 'Cisdnipro upland') is a southeastern European plain occupying the territory between the Dnieper and the Southern Bug. It lies in central Ukraine, occupying the oblasts of Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Cherkasy, Kirovohrad and Dnipropetrovsk.
To its north lies Polesian Lowland, to the south lies Black Sea Lowland, eastern border is served by the Dnieper. To the west of Dnieper Upland lies uplands of Podillia and Volhynia (see Volhynian-Podolian Upland). Average heights in the northern portion vary at 220–240 m (720–790 ft) in the southern portion do not exceed 150–170 m (490–560 ft). Its maximum is at 323 m (1,060 ft) located in the northwestern portion. Among prominent features of the upland are Kyiv Mountains, Hills of Kaniv, others.
