Savur-Mohyla, Memorial complex on Savur-Mohyla hill near Snizhne, Ukraine.

The 278-meter hill includes an obelisk and sculptures dedicated to military units, overlooking the territories between Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

Soviet forces regained control of the strategic height from German troops during intense battles in August 1943 during World War II.

Ukrainian architect Anatoly Ignashchenko designed the memorial complex in 1963 to mark twenty years since the liberation of Savur-Mohyla.

The elevated position provides military observation points covering the border regions between Ukraine and Russia, making it a strategic location.

The name derives from mohyla meaning tumulus in Ukrainian, and sauyr, a Turkic word describing a steppe mound shaped like a horse.

Location: Horlivka Raion

Elevation above the sea: 278 m
