Yes Shakhtar Donetsk’s stadium the Donbas Arena has been unusable since 2014 due to the conflict in eastern Ukraine. The stadium, which opened in 2009 and was one of the most modern in Eastern Europe was heavily damaged during the war between Ukrainian forces and Russian backed separatists following Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the outbreak of the war in Donbas. Because Donetsk fell under separatist control Shakhtar was forced to relocate. Since 2014 they have played their home games in various cities across Ukraine including Lviv Kharkiv and Kyiv. They currently play in Kyiv’s NSC Olimpiyskiy. The Donbas Arena itself was damaged by shelling in 2014 and although it still stands it has not hosted matches since then. The ongoing conflict has made any return to Donetsk impossible for the club.

Shakhtar Donetsk's Donbas Arena has been unusable since 2014 due to damage from the war in Donbas. As pro Russian separatists took control of Donetsk the club was forced to relocate. They played in Lviv (2014-2017) Kharkiv (2017-2020) and have been based in Kyiv since 2020. Despite being exiled Shakhtar remains a top Ukrainian club.
