Polesia, also called Polissia, Polesie, or Polesye,[a] is a natural (geographic) and historical region in Eastern Europe within the bigger East European Plain, including part of eastern Poland and the Belarus–Ukraine border region.[2] This region should not be confused with parts of Russia also traditionally called "Polesie".
