There are 52 populated places in Donetsk Oblast , Ukraine , that have been officially granted city status (Ukrainian : місто , romanized : misto ) by the Verkhovna Rada , the country's parliament.[1 ] Settlements with more than 10,000 people are eligible for city status although the status is typically also granted to settlements of historical or regional importance.[2 ] [3 ] [4 ] As of 1 January 2022, the most populous city in the oblast and fifth most populous city in the country overall was the regional capital Donetsk , which had an estimated population of 901,645 people, while the oblast's least populous city was Sviatohirsk , with an estimated population of 4,226 people.[1 ] The most recent settlement to receive city status is Mykolaivka , which was granted the status by the Verkhovna Rada on 18 November 2003.[5 ]

Following an administrative reform on 17 July 2020, the oblast's 28 cities of regional significance were abolished and merged into eight new, expanded districts (raions ).[6 ] [2 ] [7 ] The eight raions that make up the oblast are Bakhmut , Donetsk , Horlivka , Kalmiuske , Kramatorsk , Mariupol , Pokrovsk , and Volnovakha raion .[8 ] [9 ] Following the Donbas war , pro-Russian separatist forces occupied all cities located in the Donetsk, Horlivka, and Kalmiuske raions by 2015.[10 ] Additional cities were occupied by Russian troops after 24 February 2022, during Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine .[11 ] [12 ] As of 14 April 2024, 28 cities are occupied by Russian forces while an additional two cities (Lyman and Sviatohirsk) have been recovered by Ukraine .[13 ] [14 ] [15 ] Two cities in the oblast (Mariupol and Volnovakha ) were awarded with the honorary title Hero City of Ukraine in 2022 for their contributions to the country's defense during the invasion.[16 ] [17 ]
Following the passing of decommunization laws , ten cities within the oblast were renamed in 2016 for their connection to people, places, events, and organizations associated with the Soviet Union .[18 ] [19 ] The renamed cities are Bakhmut , Bunhe , Chystiakove , Kalmiuske , Khrestivka , Lyman , Myrnohrad , Pokrovsk , Toretsk , and Zalizne , which were previously named Artemivsk, Yunokomunarivsk, Torez, Komsomolske, Kirovske, Krasnyi Lyman, Dymytrov, Krasnoarmiisk, Dzerzhynsk, and Artemove, respectively.[20 ] Due to the occupation of Bunhe, Chystiakove, Kalmiuske, and Khrestivka by separatist forces at the time of the renaming, the new names have only de jure status.[10 ] [21 ]
