Background
The V. V. Vakhrushev Coal Mine is an underground coal mine in Luhansk Oblast, Ukraine.
The V. V. Vakhrushev coal mine is an underground coal mine. It used to be owned and operated by DTEK Rovenky Anthracite LLC.[3][4] With the seizing of the mine by pro-Russian separatists in 2017, the mine eventually came under the control of Republic Fuel Company Vostokugol State Enterprise, owned by the Ministry of Fuel and Energy of the unrecognized Luhansk People's Republic.
In September 2022, the mine launched a new longwall with reserves of 0.5 Mt of anthracite coal. Expected daily production from the new longwall was 1,200 tonnes of coal per day.[5] (that's about 0.44 Mt per year).
At the end of October 2022, the six operating coal mines of Vostokugol State Enterprise extracted 3 million tonnes of coal.[6] This was considerably less than 6 million tonnes in 2021.[7]
As of August 2023, the mine was operational although it was experiencing shortage of staff. With men sent to war, even women work underground at the mine.[8] The source also mentions that the current production is lower than in the past due to the military activity.
