Explanation
Moldova is a landlocked country located in Eastern Europe. It shares its borders with only two countries. To its north, east, and south, it is bordered by Ukraine. To its west, it is bordered by Romania, with the Prut River forming the natural boundary between them. Belarus does not share a border with Moldova as it is located further north and is separated from Moldova by the territory of Ukraine. Therefore, only Ukraine and Romania are correct.
