In this photo taken on Oct. 30, 2014, a pro-Russian rebel stands guard as
miners prepare to go into an elevator at the Chelyuskintsev coal mine in
the city of Donetsk, eastern Ukraine. Pro-Russian rebels often threaten to
stop sending coal to Kyiv but the Ukrainian government could simply cut
off the electricity generated at a power station on its side. Without that
power, shafts will get flooded and could be lost entirely as an energy
source.

in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk, controlled by pro-Russian rebels
on Monday
During their eight-hour shift they dig out and send up about 15 20
boat loads, between them they make about the equivalent of only
three US dollars for every load they told me.
Two month ago, they lost a friend and fellow miner at another illegal
mine when the steel cable attached to the Boat snapped and the
miner fell to his death deep underground. (Ghazi Balkiz/ NBC News)
