Administrative divisions of Donetsk Oblast
Donetsk Oblast is subdivided into districts (raions) which are further subdivided into amalgamated territorial communities (hromadas).
Administrative divisions after 2020
On 18 July 2020, the number of districts was reduced to eight.[1][2] This includes territories not under control of Ukrainian government, where the old territorial division is in use. The eight districts are:
- Bakhmut (Бахмутський район), the center is in the city of Bakhmut;
- Donetsk (Донецький район), the center is in the city of Donetsk;
- Horlivka (Горлівський район), the center is in the city of Horlivka;
- Kalmiuske (Кальміуський район), the center is in the city of Kalmiuske (Komsomolske);

- Pokrovsk (Покровський район), the center is in the city of Pokrovsk;
- Volnovakha (Волноваський район), the center is in the city of Volnovakha.
Administrative divisions until 2020
Until 2020, Donetsk Oblast was subdivided into 46 regions: 18 districts (raions) and 28 city municipalities (mis'krada or misto), officially known as territories governed by city councils.[3][4] In 2014, the War in Donbass started, and whereas some areas are controlled by the central Ukrainian government, others are under control of separatists representing Donetsk People's Republic. The pro-Ukrainian government of the oblast was relocated from Donetsk to Mariupol.
