The Donbass miners not to support the separatists.

The Donbass miners will not support pro-Russian activists, Mykhailo Volynets, the Chairman of the Independent Trade Union of Ukraine Miners, stated, commenting the so-called "Action Plan" circulated in the media. The press service of the union confirmed the above-mentioned statement, RBC -Ukraine writes.

In particular, it refers to the need of miners’ agitation and strikes in the mines.

"The miners will not support the separatists and for good reason. They are well informed about the fact that last year investment in the Russian coal industry decreased by 40%. Besides, everyone knows that there are mined coal seams on thick layers, and more than 60 % of the volume - in quarries, by the open cast way. At these mines costs are $ 10 per 1 ton. Donbass miners know that, for example, all the mines in the Rostov region were closed, except for three objects that belong to the Ukrainian businessman Rinat Akhmetov, and supply coal to the Ukrainian consumer", - Volynets stated.
