Zuhres or Zugres (Ukrainian: Зугре́с, pronounced [zʊˈɦrɛs]; Russian: Зугрэс) is a city in Khartsyzk urban hromada, Donetsk Raion, Donetsk Oblast in Ukraine.

The city has a population of 17,871 (2022 estimate).[1]

It is currently occupied by Russian armed forces and forces of the de facto Donetsk People's Republic.

History

The history of the city starts with the decision to build near a settlement Zuyivka a thermal power plant as part of the Soviet GOELRO plan in 1929. The name for the new settlement around the plant was given after the plant as "ZuHRES", Zuyivka Government Raion Electrical Station. The first power plant was built in 1932 and later there was built another plant in 1980s.

During WWII, the Germans occupied the town and murdered local Jews as well as communists in mass executions in a ravine outside the city.[2]

Since 2014, Zuhres has been administered as a part of the de facto Donetsk People's Republic.
