“I really ask in the next two months - March, April - to close all debts completely to the miners. If we don’t close it, skip at least one day, it seems to me that it will be fair if the entire government does not receive wages for this month, ”he said.

According to the head of Ukraine, the state debt on wages to miners currently amounts to 1-1.5 billion hryvnias.

Earlier, Goncharuk announced his intention to close unprofitable state mines, and employ miners of these enterprises.

On January 24, the miners of the Ukrainian state-owned enterprise Lvovugol blocked the international route Lviv - Rava-Russkaya. And before that, the leaders of the independent trade unions of this state-owned enterprise went on a hunger strike.
