Following the loss of Ukrainian government control over Donetsk in 2014 during the war in Donbass, the University was evacuated to Pokrovsk. [3] [4]

A small group of collaborationists among the faculty have claimed to continue to operate as the Donetsk National Technical University in the campus in Russian-occupied Donetsk, as a project aimed to legitimize the so-called Donetsk People's Republic, [5] [6] however diplomas they issued weren't recognized even in Russia itself and local students were officially enrolled as correspondent students at minor provincial Russian universities. Following the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the university appears to have been discontinued.

On 28 February 2024, the university building in Pokrovsk was partially destroyed by Russian missile attack. [7]
