Coal and oil resources were returned to the people in the DPR

Head of the DPR Aleksandr Zakharchenko signed an Order on the introduction of governmental management at the enterprises of fuel and energy, oil and gas and also coal branches of industry. This resolution is aimed at the prevention of the withdrawal of property and documentation of the state mines and coal and energy companies, which had been the property of the state of Ukraine, and also at the reinforcement of the control over the turnout of the products of the coal-mining, energy and fuel producing and oil and gas producing enterprises. The Order becomes operative since it is signed. The acting Minister of Fuel and Energy Yevgeniy Faynitskiy is authorized with the control over the Order’s implementation. Earlier the authorities in Kiev reported the catastrophic situation with coal in the country. As Deputy Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Yuriy Zyukov stated, there remained coal sufficient for several day of operation at the two out of ten Ukrainian thermal power stations by the morning of November 19. He remarked that there are three solutions to this problem: to buy coal from Ukrainian state-owned enterprises, at the open markets in those countries, where the coal of the needed brand is mined, or to buy coal in Russia.

The inhabitants of Donbass met this decision with approval: “At last the property, which should belong to the people and was stolen by oligarchs after the breakdown of the Soviet Union, was returned to the people. These leeches had been fattening on our wealth. And now all the revenue from the produced by the hands of our miners will be spent on hospitals, schools and social programs. Certainly, it will not be easy at first. We will have to learn to manage such big enterprises. However, the oligarchs also did not graduate from any universities. So, we will also learn”.
