The debt to the miners of the state enterprise Novovolynskaya mine No. 1 is 3616 thousand UAH (for February, March and April).
According to the chairman of the Independent Miners Union of Ukraine Mikhail Volynets, the mine owes 150 thousand UAH for energy carriers and some 50 thousand UAH for water supplies.
Earlier the Yuzhnodonbasskaya mine No. 1 was cut off electricity, as it was unable to clear its debts.
“This is another example of the authorities inability to provide for the normal operation of the coal industry”, Volynets noted. (Ukrainian metal)
