Donbas coal miners help maintain Ukraine energy supplies

Description

In the middle of war, hundreds of men are burrowing deep underground to provide energy security to Ukraine. Like most Ukrainians, the miners say they are concerned over the future of the country, and are doing their part to help those on the frontlines. "We are with them in spirit, but after all, the coal also needs to be mined by someone" says one miner.
