Coal miners in Ukraine fuel war effort with deep digging.

Coal miners in southeastern Ukraine work around the clock to extract coal to power the country's war effort and provide civilians with light and heat. Coal is central to meeting Ukraine's energy needs following the Russian military's campaign to destroy power stations and other infrastructure. The work of the coal miners cannot fully compensate for the loss of energy from nuclear power plants, but every megawatt they generate reduces gaps. The miners work with optimism, trying not to think about what is going on outside the mine, and forget about it.
