Miners on the Ukraine-uncontrolled territories of Donbass receive salary via the bankcards of the state Oschadbank.
“The anthracite coal, supplied from the ATO zone, is mined at Ukrainian enterprises, registered on Ukrainian territory, and from the ground, belonging to Ukraine. All of the miners there – around 50 thousands of them – are also registered in Ukraine, and receive wages to Oschadbank cards”, the minister of energy and coal industry Igor Nasalik said.
He believes that if miners there lose jobs they might join the illegal military gangs. (Ukrainian metal)
