The Mius ( Ukrainian Міус , Russian Миус ) is a river in Ukraine and Russia .
course
The source of the Mius is on the Donets Ridge , a ridge running through the Donets Basin , in the Luhansk Oblast near the border with the Donetsk Oblast , about twelve kilometers southeast of the city of Debaltseve near the settlement of Mius . It then flows first in a south-easterly direction, marking the border between the two oblasts, then again a few kilometers through the Luhansk Oblast, where it turns south to the south of the city of Krasnyj Luch . After flowing through the far east of Donetsk Oblast again, the river reaches the Russian Oblast Rostov , in which the largest part of the river is located.
It finally flows a few kilometers northwest of Taganrog into the 30-kilometer-long Mius Liman of the Sea of Azov .
history
During the Second World War , a line of defense of the German Wehrmacht ran along the Mius , where the Red Army troops could be stopped during their counter-offensive in the Battle of Rostov at the end of 1941 and again during the Donets-Mius offensive in summer 1943.
