Vynnitskaya coal mine
Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine
The Vinnytska coal mine («») is a large coal mine located in the south-east of Ukraine in Donetsk Oblast. Vinnytska represents one of the largest coal reserves in Ukraine having estimated reserves of 14.7 million tonnes. The annual coal production is around 303,000 tonnes. The mine was originally under the State Holding Company (DHK) "Shakhtarskantratsyt" until 2003, when it became its own subsidiary under DP "Mine Vinnytska". However, in 2006, the subsidiary was liquidated, and coal extraction ceased at the mine. However, it started up again soon, as it was at least included on a privatisation list in 2008. In 2014, the mine was captured by pro-Russian separatists, who annexed it into the pro-Russian, self-declared Donetsk People's Republic.
