Coal mines in Donetsk region is located on one side of the front line, and power on the other, emphasizes the Agency. For example, most of the mines in areas under the control of the militia, receives power from the Kurakhovskaya TPP, which is placed under the control of the Ukrainian army and, with his hand, working on coal from these mines.

At least two shafts can not be reversed, ten completely flooded, another 7 under threat of flooding. From January to September, the coal in the Donbass decreased by 20%, and Ukraine has to import coal from abroad.
Mine name Chelyuskintsev was closed for almost 3 months and started again to work at the end of September. Despite the Fighting, the company supplies coal mined Ukrainian state-owned companies. As noted by the associated Press, August the government of Ukraine does not pay the miners wages.
The head of the company Vasily Dance puzzled by the logic of the Kyiv authorities: " They claim, you will use the money we will send you, for military purposes. Seem not to understand that people who have not been paid for three months, no money for bread."
About a hundred workers of mine named members joined the militia, two lost their lives. The leadership of the mine, however, refuses to raise the flag of one or the other - at least as long as one of them starts to pay wages, emphasizes the Agency.
