“From constant targeted shelling of the mines, they are now and then de-energized, it is necessary to carry out an emergency rescue evacuation of miners from underground.

Due to constant shelling, the Zasyadko mine stopped working, ”Pushilin wrote in his Telegram channel.

In addition, the head of the DPR spoke about the difficulties at the Skochinsky mine, which is also subjected to constant shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to Pushilin, the Ukrainian side, with the help of shelling, is pursuing the goal of creating an energy collapse in the Donbass.

“Over the past two or three weeks, the number of attacks by Ukrainian militants on the critical infrastructure of the republic has increased.

The energy sector is especially affected,” he concluded.

On September 1, three mines were de-energized as a result of another shelling of Donetsk by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Earlier it became known about the death of 13 employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Donetsk People's Republic in the line of duty as a result of the shelling of the village of Rubtsy.
