Pryazovia (Ukrainian: Приазов'я, sometimes spelledПриозів'я,[lower-alpha 1]Pryozivia; Russian: Приазовье, romanized:Priazovye) or literally Cis-Azov region is usually used to refer to the geographic area of the north coast of the Sea of Azov,[1] mostly located in south-eastern Ukraine, with a small part in Russia. It is located in the southern part of the Azov-Kuban Lowland within the East European Plain, which surrounds the Sea of Azov for most of the stretch of coastline. In a more general sense it may mean the Azov Sea littoral, and conversely, to be more specific, it may also be referred to as the Northern Priazovye.
