Yasinovskaya-Glubokaya coal mine

The Yasynivska–Hlyboka coal mine is a coal mine located in the city of Makiivka, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. Yasynivska–Hlyboka represents one of the largest coal reserves in Ukraine, having estimated reserves of 41.5 million tonnes. The annual coal production is around 434,000 tonnes. The mine originally began production in 1961, after having started construction in 1952. After a series of upgrades during the 1970s into the 1980s, the mine employed around 2,067 people in 2000. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the mine came under the control of the state enterprise "Makeevugol". During the War in the Donbas in 2014, pro-Russian separatists seized control of the territory and annexed it into the pro-Russian, self-declared Donetsk People's Republic, which was later itself annexed into Russia in a highly disputed referendum. Since its control by the DPR, the mine has opened new longwalls, but has also been the site of labour disputes over wages.
