On the northern territory of the present-day Odessa and Transdniestria regions within the limits of the present-day Kam’ansk and Rybniza districts of Moldova, which were a part of the Balta povit (district), Moldavians lived both in separate monoethnic and in mixed Ukraino- Moldavian or Moldavo-Ukrainian settlements.
