Chasiv Yar is located about 10 km west of the city of Bakhmut in Ukraine, which the Russian Defense Ministry reported capturing in May 2023.

The city sits on elevated ground and is referred to as the “key to Donbas,” as its capture would allow Russian forces to advance almost unimpeded toward Kramatorsk and other cities.
