Synyukha (Ukrainian: Синюха) is a river in Ukraine, 111 km in length, a left tributary of the Southern Bug, the basin of Black Sea. The Synyukha springs out of its source in Kirovohrad Oblast. Its name means blue or of blue shade.
It is believed that in the mid 14th century here took place one of major battles between the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Ulus Jochi, the Battle of Blue Waters.[1]
