Background

The West Donbass Coal Mine (Zakhidno-Donbasʹka in Ukrainian, or Zapadno-Donbasskaya in Russian) is an operating underground coal mine in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine. The West Donbass coal mine is an underground coal mine. It is operated by DTEK Pavlogradugol, a subsidiary of DTEK Group, which is owned by Ukrainian billionaire Rinat Akhmetov.[5][6]

In 2020 and 2021, the coal mines of DTEK Pavlodgradugol produced 16 million tonnes of coal.[7][8]

Pavlograd is considered the center of Western Donbass and coal mines are located around the city. Located 80km from the Donetsk region, the city periodically suffers from Russian shelling. Due to the Russian invasion, many people left Pavlograd, including mine workers, and about 3,600 miners were mobilized into the Defense Forces. Coal enterprises faced a personnel crisis and now many women are employed in the mines in Pavlograd.[9]

In March 2023, machine building company Corum Group supplied a cleaning combine for the mine.[10] As of January 2024, the mine appeared to be operating, but no production levels are known.
