Adjust the borders of Budjak.

Bring it north of the Danube. "Historically, Budjak was a smaller, southeastern steppe region of Moldavia. Bordered by the northern Trajan's Wall at its north end, by the Danube river and Black Sea to its south,"-Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budjak

Just to clarify, do you mean by adding another country core there or changing the provinces around? If it is changing the provinces, I am in total agreeance since even on the map, it doesn't look appealing. It is too big, and a fourth Province there would be nice.

moving it north and or adding another province in its place south of the Danube.

That seems good to move basarabia north and squish Moldavia and Tighina, while also adding Danube in it's place, by the coast. I would say that could be the best way to move it around.

"Kiliya (Ukrainian: Кілія; Russian: Килия; Romanian: Chilia [-Nouă]; Moldovan (Cyrillic): Килия [-Ноуэ]; Polish: Kilia; Greek: Κελλίa, Kellía; Turkish: Kilya) is a small city in Odessa Oblast (province) of southwestern Ukraine. It is the administrative center of Kiliya Raion (district), and is located in the Danube Delta, in the Bessarabian historic district of Budjak. The Chilia branch of the Danube river, which separates Ukraine from Romania, is named after Kiliya. Population: 20,311 (2015 est.)[1]"
"Kiliya is therefore sometimes referred to as Nova Kiliya (Russian: Hoво Килия, Ukrainian: Hoва Кілія, translit. Novo Kiliya, Romanian: Chilia Nouă), or "New Kiliya". It was founded by Stephen the Great of Moldavia, in order to counteract the Ottoman Empire which had taken control over Chilia Veche in the 15th century. It was a major Moldavian port. However, it was eventually conquered by the Ottomans in 1484." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiliya

Battle of Vaslui
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vaslui

Date January 10, 1475[1]
Location Near Vaslui, present-day Romania Result Decisive Moldavian victory
"The conflict between Stephen and Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II worsened when both laid their claims to the historical region of Bessarabia, now known under the name of Budjak. The region had belonged to Wallachia, but later succumbed to Moldavian influence under Petru I of Moldavia and was possibly annexed to Moldavia in the late 14th century by Roman I of Moldavia.[7] Under Alexandru cel Bun, it had become an integral part of Moldavia and was successfully defended in 1420 against the first Ottoman attempt to capture castle Chilia.[8] The ports of Chilia and Akkerman (Romanian: Cetatea Albā) were essential for Moldavian commerce."
