Medvedchuk and Yanukovych Exploit Resources of Luhansk Region, Ecology Under Threat - National Resistance Center
The National Resistance Center has raised alarming concerns regarding the coal industry in the occupied eastern regions of Ukraine, highlighting the exploitation of resources by prominent figures such as Medvedchuk and Yanukovych.
According to a report by Ukrinform, the National Resistance Center has shared troubling information via its Telegram channel about the current state of the coal industry in the occupied eastern regions of Ukraine. Their findings indicate that by 2026, the coal industry in this area has transformed into a private 'feeding trough' for collaborators and oligarchs from the Russian Federation.
Specifically, Medvedchuk and Kurchenko are actively extracting anthracite through the Trading House 'Donskie Ugli', with profits from this operation funneled into shell companies that bear no responsibility for debts and flooded mines left in the region. Meanwhile, the Yanukovych clan is coordinating coal exports through Rostov, circumventing international sanctions.
The National Resistance Center also draws attention to the horrific working conditions in the coal enterprises, where labor slavery has been instituted. Workers protesting against delays in salary payments are being mobilized to the front lines, highlighting the lack of rights and freedoms for individuals in these dire circumstances.
Furthermore, it has been noted that mining equipment is being systematically transported to Russia, followed by the conservation of mines with gross violations of technology. This is already leading to severe environmental issues, including contamination of drinking water and ground subsidence beneath cities, raising concerns among the local population.
The message from the National Resistance Center emphasizes that the occupiers are hastily exporting all valuable resources, preparing for an ecological disaster that could affect the entire region. This situation is causing alarm not only among local residents but also within the international community, which is closely monitoring developments in Ukraine.
Earlier reports indicated that the invaders owe workers in the temporarily occupied territories hundreds of millions of rubles, further complicating the situation for individuals already suffering from the consequences of war.
This information underscores the critical state of the coal industry in occupied territories and the urgent need for measures to protect both the environment and human rights.
