'''Prut''', or '''Pruth''', ({{lang-uk|Прут}}) is a 953 [[Kilometre|km]] long river in [[Eastern Europe]]. It was known in [[classical antiquity|antiquity]] as ''Pyretus'' or ''Porata'' or ''Gerasius''<ref>The Goths By Peter Heather page 100</ref>. It originates on the eastern slope of Mount [[Hoverla]], in the [[Carpathian Mountains]] in [[Ukraine]]. It flows southeast to join the [[Danube]] river near [[Reni, Ukraine|Reni]], east of [[Galaţi]].
