Was built on Szczecin Shipyard in Poland in 1969 for the Soviet Navy, and entitled 'PM-9' (PM is a Russian abbreviation for a floating repair ship).
As a result of the distribution of the Black Sea Fleet, 'PM-9' changed its name to 'Krasnodon'.
In 2001 it was renamed the 'Donbas'.
During it service in the Navy Armed Forces of Ukraine the ship repeatedly has participated in international exercises and parades.
In 2010 the ship was reconstructed.
Satellite images published on 6 April 2022 show the Donbas being engulfed in heavy smoke in the port of Mariupol, indicating the ship was likely hit due to the currently ongoing Siege of Mariupol.
