“No mine can be closed or liquidated until people get a new job,” the president’s website quotes Zelensky.

He specified that the new work for miners should be “safe” and with “decent pay”.

Zelensky also stressed that people are the main value in the reform of coal regions.

Earlier it became known that Vladimir Zelensky plans to travel around Ukrainian mining cities.

On February 7, Ukrainian Prime Minister Aleksey Goncharuk announced his intention to close unprofitable state mines, and employ miners of these enterprises.
