“If the peg of Ukrainian coal to low prices on the Rotterdam Stock Exchange remains, then the state mines will go bankrupt, tens of thousands of miners will be left without work,” he said.
In his opinion, the Rotterdam + formula somewhat improved the working conditions of the mines, however, due to the high cost of Ukrainian coal, they still need help from the state.
“If the price of coal is not increased, the mines will stop. The price should be significantly higher, ”he added.
Earlier, the Independent Trade Union of Miners of Ukraine appealed to the authorities of the country in connection with the critical situation caused by the disconnection of the coal enterprises from the power supply.
