Donets ridge in Ukraine The Donets Ridge or Donets Upland is a highland located in Ukraine's Donetsk and Luhansk regions, most of which are currently occupied by Russia, as well as in Russia's Rostov Oblast. The highest point on the ridge is the 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 Siverskyi 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.
