“Mine rescue work is currently underway, that is, the consequences of the man-made disaster are now being eliminated. Fortunately, all the RNG units and all the equipment remained on our territory. The statement that Poroshenko proposed to send 60 rescuers is not true, because, firstly, the nearest mine rescue unit is in Krasnoarmeysk, it simply would not have time to arrive, and secondly, the necessary equipment is in Donetsk, so we are able to cope on their own, and, in principle, they managed it themselves,” Zakharchenko believes.
“Regarding the mine management: the mine director is here, giving explanations and testimony about the fact of the outbreak itself, the methane explosion. According to preliminary data, it was an explosion of methane mixture, but the cause of this explosion is being specified. An investigation is currently underway. The results of the investigation will be made public, we will tell you everything.
Now there is no mining there yet, the fire there has not yet been completely extinguished. By the way, Poroshenko declared mourning in Ukraine for the dead miners, but people were dying every day in Donetsk - and not once was mourning declared in Ukraine. And I'll explain why. The Zasyadko mine is an enterprise that, until recently, worked closely with Ukraine, and the bulk of the money went to Ukraine. It was in the context of the Minsk agreements that we did not touch this, because there are economic ties, and we wanted the people who work at the enterprise , received money. Therefore, in principle, this enterprise was Ukrainian. What happened at this mine gives us every reason to now terminate the lease ahead of schedule,” said the DPR leader.
“The enterprise will become the property of the DPR, we will immediately talk about it, and in the future this enterprise will work for the Donetsk People’s Republic. That’s why Poroshenko announced it, because he received taxes from it. Including a 1,5% tax on the conduct of war here. That mourning was declared is a policy of double standards: mourning was declared for one’s own enterprise, for the dead people, but mourning cannot be declared for the thousands of other people who died. Although he constantly states that this territory is part of Ukraine. Forgot the rest of the people, remembered these - this is a purely populist step that does not honor the President of Ukraine at all. It was better not to announce anything,” Zakharchenko emphasized.
As PolitNavigator reported, victims of the mine accident. 33 miners began working.
