Shaitanka (river)

River in Ukraine

The Shaitanka or Shaytanka (Ukrainian: Шайтанка) is a river in southeastern Ukraine. A right tributary of the Mokri Yaly, it flows through the western parts of Donetsk Oblast near the settlements Novodonetske and Novomaiorske.[1]

During the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Shaitanka has become a site of fighting, with Ukrainian forces making concerted efforts to cross the river in September 2023.[2]
