Russian firms that in 2024 leased 15 coal mines in occupied Donbas, or the so-called "Donetsk and Luhansk Individuals’s Republics", have refused to develop 9 of them.

"The occupation authorities imagine that traders ought to pay for the event of a technical venture for the liquidation and operation of the services till they’re mothballed or liquidated.

Of the 9 mines, two within the so-called Donetsk Individuals’s Republic are leased by Impex-Don, and one other seven within the so-called Luhansk Individuals’s Republic are leased by Donskie Ugli Buying and selling Home.
