Donets (Донец), is a tributary of Don River, Russia. It originates in Central Russia, flows South-East through Ukraine and then Russia again to join Don. Total length is 650 mi (1,050 km).
It is a significant transportation artery to service Donets Basin -- an area of coal mining and heavy industry.
Donets Basin also known as Donbass or Donbas (Russian: Донбасс from Donetskiy bassein) is a historical, economic and cultural region of Ukraine.
That field (basin) was named after the Donetsriver flowing across the region.
This is explained by the fact that Donets' coal basin geographically extends to that area (also specializing in coal-mining), which sometimes called a "Russian Donbass".
