TheR260 (Р260 in cyrillic scripts), previouslyM21 andA260 is aRussian federal highway. It runs fromVolgograd, throughKamensk-Shakhtinsky toLuhansk, the Russian-occupied capital ofLuhansk Oblast of Ukraine, where it continues as theM30 toDnipro.
Formerly as M21, it was part of theSoviet trunk road network and started fromChișinău via Dnipro to Volgograd. In 2010 the section in Russia received the number A260, but the M21 designation was used until the end of 2017, when the A260 designation became official.[1] The entire route is part ofE40 andAH70.
In July 2023, as a part of theirannexation works ofLuhansk People's Republic that de-facto controlled city of Luhansk for nearly 10 years, the previous A260 highway has extended to Luhansk, and renamed the number to R260.[2]
