Bessarabia Governorate or Bessarabia Oblast was a governorate of the Russian Empire from 1812–1871. Initially an oblast and following 1871 a governorate , it included the eastern part of the Principality of Moldavia along with the neighboring Ottoman-ruled territories annexed by Russia by the Treaty of Bucharest following the Russo-Turkish War . The Governorate was disbanded in 1917, with the establishment of Sfatul Țării, a national assembly which proclaimed the Moldavian Democratic Republic in December 1917. The latter united with Romania in April 1918.
Around 65% of the territory of the former governorate now belongs to the Republic of Moldova , and around 35% to Ukraine.
