This was reported by the Ukrainian TV channel “Public TV of Donbass”, a correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
“We are already tired of extorting our earned money from the government by taking some radical measures. It is necessary to restore order in the coal industry. Today, it seems that there are simply no professionals and no desire to restore order in the coal industry. Ukrainian miners have no future because various financial groups are taking our coal reserves. We came for our earned money and will stand until the last minute until we achieve the payment of all wages. They constantly deceive us, they say that they will pay the debt, and in the evening we find out that we will not receive anything,” said one miner.
As previously reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent, at the end of last week, a protest by Donbas miners took place near the state-owned Selidov-Ugol enterprise, which is under Kyiv's control. Following this protest, the miners decided to travel to the capital to meet with the Minister of Industry.
