About
Vuhlehirsk is a small city in Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast near Debaltseve. Coal mining and railway connections shaped its development in the Donbas.
Notes
Khatsepetivka renamed Vuhlehirsk in 1958; Uglegorsk/Ouglegorsk is Russian-based, not a separate recent municipal renaming. Do not confuse the city with the similarly named Vuhledar. Standard-derived alternatives are retrieval aids, not claims of prose frequency. Sources checked 2026-11-15: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vuhlehirsk ; https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vouhlehirsk.
