== History == {{expand section|date=March 2024}} From the 16th to the 18th centuries most of the south of Ukraine was under Turkish imperial domination and the colonists renamed the river using their language to the ''Aq-su'', meaning the "White river". Indigenous Slavic toponyms were re-established after the conquest of the Pontic region from Turkish domination in the 17th and 18th centuries. On March 6, 1918, the [[Central Council of Ukraine|Central Council]] of the [[Ukrainian People's Republic]] adopted a law on the "administrative-territorial division of Ukraine", dividing it into regional districts. One of these, Pobozhia (meaning lands of the ''Boh'', {{langx |uk|Побожжя}}), was in the upstream lands of the Southern Bug, near the source of the river.
