Abstract
Ukraine is located near by the Vrancea seismic zone, which adjoins the southwestern borders of the country. This factor is one of the most important in seismic zoning. But earthquakes occur within the country as well.
In this work the modern seismicity of the territory of Podillya - an active platform region is considered.
Based on tectonic earthquake data for the period from 2004 to 2019, two seismically active zones were allocated on the territory of Podillya-Ternopil and Novodnistrovsk region. Both are confined to the zones of modern neotectonic activation. The activation of the Novodnistrovsk zone is associated with the functioning of the Dniester reservoir. Possible influence of weak local earthquakes, the focal areas of which are still poorly understood, should be taken into account while designing and building important and environmentally hazardous objects including hydropower constructions.
