Makiivka, Industrial city in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine.

Located 13 kilometers east of Donetsk, Makéyevka spreads across 426 square kilometers and contains five administrative districts at an elevation of 169 meters.

Founded in 1690 as a Cossack settlement, Makéyevka transformed into a major industrial center after coal deposits were discovered in the late 19th century.

The city preserves 147 architectural monuments and historical sites, including burial mounds from ancient Scythian and Sarmatian nomadic tribes.

Multiple railway lines connect different sectors of the city, while regular bus services provide transportation links to major Ukrainian destinations.
