about

Brest is a city in southwestern Belarus, where the Mukhavets meets the Western Bug beside the Polish border. Its fortress is a major memorial to the fighting of the Second World War.

Brest est une ville du sud-ouest du Bélarus, au confluent de la Moukhavets et du Boug occidental, près de la frontière polonaise. Sa forteresse est un important lieu de mémoire de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

notes

Input Берестя is the Ukrainian exonym; local_name restores Belarusian Брэст. The historical name Brest-Litovsk is not the current official name. Belarusian 2007/UN 2012 forms are historical-system alternatives; no claim of conformity with the changed domestic 2023 rules. Some alternatives are explicitly standard-derived retrieval forms, not individually attested press spellings; this contributes to medium certainty.
