According to the ATO Spokesperson Col. Andrii Lysenko, there is information on the deepening economic crisis in the Donbas occupied territories.

The Occupation Administration announced the so-called “nationalization” of Starobeshivska thermal power station, as well as gas mains in the eastern part of the Donetsk region, controlled by pro-Russian militants.

Also, according to the current information, Russia-backed occupiers plan to assign all property of Ukrzaliznytsia in the occupied territory.

Moreover, militants plan to stop mining coal in the mines of “Artemvugillya” state enterprise in Horlivka from September 1, because of the large arrears of wages.

As previously reported, pro-Russian militants threatened to dismiss more than half of miners.
