Trams in Donetsk

Trams in Donetsk (Ukrainian: Донецький трамвай, romanized: Donetskyi tramvai; Russian: Донецкий трамвай) refer to trams in the Ukrainian city of Donetsk, and is one of the main mass transit systems in the city.

[1][2] On March 2, 1927, the city's executive committee approved the construction of a tram line.

However, the German invasion of Soviet Union in June 1941 cut off this plan, and it never materialized.

During the German-Soviet War, the trams in the city were used mainly for economic purposes, including transport of different goods.

In the 1950s, the authorities made a series of changes to the tram system, including building an extension line to a newly built cotton factory.
