  ## Course
  
  Kleven rises in the south-west of the Central Russian Upland in the south of the Russian Bryansk Oblast near the M3/E101 trunk road and initially flows south. After a few kilometers, it comes across the Ukrainian village of Sopych. From there it forms the border between the Ukrainian Sumy Oblast and the Russian Kursk Oblast over a longer stretch, changing its direction of flow mainly to the southwest, until it finally flows into the Seym at the southern edge of the village of Kamin in Sumy Oblast.
