This paper deals with the problem of the radiocarbon dating of the Horodiştea-Gordineşti sites in northern Moldova and western Ukraine. So far, the timeframe of Late Trypillia culture has been displayed in various ways by researchers of Eastern European Eneolithic. This applies especially to the end of this culture. Based on the currently available radiocarbon dataset, these issues may be reconsidered. It is relevant from the perspective of Funnel Beaker culture settlements in western Volhynia in the area of the Bug River, where the pottery imports of Horodiştea-Gordineşti group were identified. Furthermore, the occurrence of Late Eneolithic / Trypillia CII sites with pottery with the features of this group in this area should also be highlighted. The analysis of the chronology of Late Eneolithic/Trypillia CII complexes from western Ukraine allows us to reflect on the dating of phase II of key Funnel Beaker culture settlement in this area — Zimne and Gródek Nadbużny. They may be associated with the last centuries of the 4th mill. BC.
