Amvrosiivka Raion

Amvrosiivka Raion (Ukrainian: Амвросіївський район, romanized: Amvrosiivs'kyi raion; Russian: Амвросиевский район, romanized: Amvrosievskiy raion) was a raion (district) within the eastern part of Donetsk Oblast in eastern Ukraine. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Donetsk Oblast to eight. However, since 2014 the raion was not under control of Ukrainian government and has been part of the Donetsk People's Republic which continues using it as an administrative unit. The administrative center of the raion is the town of Amvrosiivka. The last estimate of the raion population, reported by the Ukrainian government, was 43,759 (2020 est.). In 2022, the Donetsk People's Republic including the Amvrosiivka Raion was annexed by Russia.
