agree  Alexander C. Thomson: I like Kate's suggestion but given the Ukrainian context, I think the word 'geography' had best feature in the translation. It is a matter of real lines on the map.

agree  philgoddard: If it has an exact and very obvious equivalent in English, you should use it.

Reference: Phantomgrenzen

Reference information:
I know - not the term asked for, but I think it is still interesting/important to know what they refer to in the context:

Phantomgrenzen sind frühere, zumeist politische Grenzen, die den heutigen Raum strukturieren. In vielen Fällen wirken die historischen Räume (Habsburger Reich, Osmanisches Reich, Teilung Deutschlands, Teilung Polens u.a.) fort oder tauchen erneut auf: im Wahlverhalten, in Infrastrukturnetzwerken oder auch in sozialen Praktiken. Diese Remanenz-Phänomene werden von allen Projekten, die im Kompetenznetzwerk zusammenarbeiten, in verschiedenen Facetten für die Region Ostmitteleuropa und Südosteuropa untersucht.
