Faschivska coal mine

Rovenky Raion, Ukraine · built 1940

The Faschivska coal mine («») was a large coal mine located in the south-east of Ukraine in Luhansk Oblast. It is situated near the settlement of Faschivska. The mine represents one of the largest coal reserves in Ukraine, having estimated reserves of 12.9 million tonnes. The annual coal production was around 285,000 tonnes prior to 2014. Originally part of the Ukrainian state enterprise "Luhanskvuhillya", the mine became controlled by pro-Russian separatists in 2014 during the War in the Donbas and was subsequently annexed into the pro-Russian, self-declared Luhansk People's Republic (LPR). Due to significant damage during the war, the mine stopped operations from 2014 to 2016. It then operated from 2016 until 2023, when Russian authorities, following the LPR's annexation by Russia, liquidated the mine.
