Background

The Red Partisan Coal Mine (Chervonyy partyzan in Ukrainian, or Krasnyy partizan in Russian) is an underground coal mine in Luhansk Oblast, Ukraine.

It used to be owned and operated by DTEK Sverdlovanthracite LLC, a subsidiary of DTEK Energy B.V, which is owned by Ukrainian billionaire Rinat Akhmetov. It has a capacity of 750,000 tons per year, but has often mined more than 1 million tonnes annually. DTEK lost control of Sverdlovanthracite LLC in 2017. The mine eventually transitioned 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 2021, 9 miners died and 19 injured as a result of breakage of the cage rope.

In January 2022, the coal mine launched a new longwall. As of March 2023, the mine appeared to be operating.

In October 2023, a Ukrainian source reported that the process to mothball the mine has started due to large debts for electricity and not enough workers as miners are mobilized.

In March 2024, Ukrainian media source reported that equipment had been dismantled and removed from the mine to the territory of the Russian Federation. In June 2024, Russian source reported that several mines including the Red Partisan will be leased to a private investor Donskiye Ugli. It was not clear if the mine was operating.
