The Verkhovna Rada honored those killed in Lviv with a minute of silence
50% of the coal used in Ukraine is purchased abroad, local miners are left without wages or die as a result of accidents in dilapidated mines
Such gloomy observations were shared from the rostrum of the Verkhovna Rada by the notorious deputy Oleg Lyashko, an active participant in the 2014 coup d’etat, which led to the degradation of the Ukrainian economy.
“Today in the Lviv region, at the Lesovaya mine of the Lvovugol association, a tragedy occurred, two miners died, I ask you to declare a minute of silence for the dead,” Lyashko said.
“The death of miners is the result of the activities of the Ministry of Energy and the government, billions of dollars are spent on the purchase of imported coal: Russian, American, South African, instead of investing in the production of Ukrainian coal, in labor safety, in updating fixed assets and protecting the lives of Ukrainian miners!
We demand the resignation of Energy Minister Nasalik, whose policies lead to the death of Ukrainian miners, to unemployment; for months and years, Ukrainian miners do not receive wages in the Donetsk, Lugansk, Lviv, and Volyn regions.
A billion hryvnias are all it takes to complete the construction of the Novovolynskaya mine, they have been promising for many years, and no one is doing anything - but today the energy balance of Ukraine is almost 50 percent of imported coal!
We create jobs for our foreign competitors, but almost a hundred thousand Ukrainian miners have empty refrigerators and have been without work for months! We demand from the new president, from the new government, radical changes in economic policy, in particular in the energy industry!” – said Lyashko.
