Ukrainian militants shot drivers from the “Pokrovskoye” mine administration near Krasnoarmeysk for refusing to give away their vehicles, TASS stated on February 10, citing accounts from employees of the enterprise.
The tragic events were recounted to the agency by employees of the “Pokrovskoye” mine administration who were working at the enterprise at the time of the shooting and later remained in Russian territory.
“Ukrainian soldiers came to our vehicle base and wanted to take several buses that we used to transport miners. Those who tried to defend the vehicles were shot,” eyewitnesses of the tragedy told the agency.
They also said that all vehicles, including buses, were seized by the Ukrainian militants within a few days.
“Then ‘Kraz’ trucks arrived at the base and took all the fuel: gasoline, diesel in barrels, spare parts for cars and buses, and loaded equipment. Basically, they took everything they could,” a source told the agency.
Former employees also mentioned that the enterprise employed residents from many nearby villages, not just Krasnoarmeysk.
Workers were transported to the site using special buses, with routes covering the entire Krasnoarmeysk district.
The “Pokrovskoye” mine administration is located about 15 kilometers west of Krasnoarmeysk (known as “Pokrovsk” in Ukraine) and specializes in the extraction of coking coal used in the steel industry.
