Background

The Luhanske Coal Mine is an underground operation in Luhansk Oblast, Ukraine.

According to the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, most Donbas region mines were seized by Russians and pro-Russian rebels in late 2014 and many have endured electricity shortages and flooding ever since. The current output of the Donbas mines, including this one, is no longer transparent, and many are likely non-operational and on hiatus. The Luhanske coal mine is an underground coal mine. It is operated by Luhansk Coal (Luhanskvugglia), a state-owned company that since 2014 has been folded into Tsentrugol, the "State Unitary Enterprise" of the Luhansk People's Republic rebel government.

According to a Ukrainian source from 2020, the mine was planned for closing in 2021.

As of October 2022, the mine appeared to be operating.
