H20 is an important Ukraine national highway (H-highway) in the Donetsk Oblast, Donbas, Ukraine, running mainly north–south and connecting Sloviansk though Donetsk with Mariupol on the shores of Taganrog Bay in the Sea of Azov near the mouth of the Kalmius River.[1] It passes through Kramatorsk, Druzhkivka, Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka, Osykove, Kostiantynivka, Berestok, Romanivka, Kamianka, Makiivka, Donetsk, Dolia, Syhnalne-Olenivka, Berezove, Novotroitske, Buhas, Volnovakha, Dmytrivka, Polkove, Pryvilne, Hranitne, and Kasianivka.

Before 1998, the road was designated as P40 and was P19 from 1998 to 2006.

War in Donbas

Significant armed conflict has occurred along and near the H20 during the war in Donbas. On 13 January 2015, pro-Russia militants attacked a bus near Buhas and Volnovakha. It is known as the 'road of life' or the 'road of death'.[2]
