“As of September 3 this year, according to the Ministry of Energy’s operational data, wage arrears are 306 million hryvnias ... if you add a wage bill for August, about 500 million hryvnias, the total debt is more than 800 million hryvnias,” he said he.

Earlier, workers at the Ukrainian mines Kurakhovskaya and Ukraine blocked the road, demanding payment of wage arrears. Later, the miners of the Kapitalnaya mine refused to work due to wage arrears.

At the same time, on August 20, Volynets reported that the Gornaya mine in the Luhansk region was operating in emergency mode and was at risk of flooding due to a shortage of electricity. Later that day it became known that the Ukrainian company bought more than 300 thousand tons of coal in Colombia.
