Donets Ridge

The Donets Ridge or Donets Upland is a highland located in the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine, as well as the Rostov Oblast of Russia. The highest point on the ridge is a hill—Mohyla Mechetna, 367 m (1,204 ft). The Donets Ridge is the easternmost ridge in Ukraine. It is bordered on the north by the valley of the Northern Donets River. It drops in the southeast to the Azov Lowland, and is bordered on the southwest by the Azov Upland.

Another hill, Savur-Mohyla (278 m (912 ft)), was a notable site in the war in Donbas.
