UKRAINE-RUSSIA-CONFLICT-WAR

A miner talks on the phone in one of the tunnels at a coal mine in the Dnipro region on June 9, 2023, amid the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. With power stations in Kyiv being targeted by cruise missiles, the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam breached and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant under Russian occupation, Ukraine's energy sector is under attack. Of the 89 coal mines that were in newly-independent Ukraine at the break-up of the Soviet Union, 71 are in the eastern Donbas region, now partly held by Russian forces. The remaining mines within Ukraine, now power 30 percent of Ukraine's power grid. (Photo by Anatolii Stepanov / AFP) (Photo by ANATOLII STEPANOV/AFP via Getty Images)
