隨著俄軍持續逼近波克洛夫斯克市，烏克蘭在該市附近停止開採煉焦煤，路透社於1月13日
引述匿名消息人士報導。
「他們現在都已經停工了，」路透社一位消息人士表示。另一位消息人士則補充說：「沒有
生產，只在地面上作業。」
位於波克洛夫斯克以西約10公里（6英里）的波克洛夫斯克煤礦，是東歐規模最大的煤礦之
一，主要生產用於煉鋼所需的煉焦煤。鋼鐵是烏克蘭僅次於農產品的第二大出口項目。
該煤礦由鋼鐵製造商Metinvest BV擁有，是烏克蘭境內唯一生產煉焦煤的礦場。
該鎮附近的東部戰線在過去幾個月裡一直發生激烈戰鬥，也是俄軍在頓內次克州進攻的焦點
，因為波克洛夫斯克對烏軍的後勤補給至關重要。
根據貿易數據，2024年前八個月的鋼鐵產品出口總值近20億美元。
專家指出，烏克蘭鋼鐵製造商在2024年底前可能生產高達750萬公噸鋼鐵，並計劃在2025年
將產量提升至超過1000萬公噸。
然而，一旦失去波克洛夫斯克，產量可能會降至每年200萬至300萬公噸。

Vital Pokrovsk coking coal mine halts operation, Reuters reports
Kyiv independent, Jan 13
As Russian troops continue approaching the city of Pokrovsk, Ukraine halts the e
xtraction of coking coal near the city, Reuters reported on Jan. 13, citing unna
med sources.
"They have all stopped working now," one Reuters source said. "There's no produc
tion there, they're only working on the surface," another Reuters source added.
The Pokrovsk coal mine, one of the largest in Eastern Europe, is located 10 km (
6 miles) west of Pokrovsk. The mine produces coal for coke production needed in
steelmaking, which is Ukraine's second-largest export after agriculture.
The coal mine, owned by steelmaker Metinvest BV, was the only one in Ukraine pro
ducing coking coal.
The eastern front near the town has been the scene of fierce fighting for severa
l months and a focal point of Russia's offensive in Donetsk Oblast, given Pokrov
sk's importance as a logistics hub for Ukrainian forces.
According to trade data, exports of steel products totaled nearly $2 billion in
the first eight months of 2024.
Experts say Ukrainian steelmakers could have produced up to 7.5 million metric t
ons of steel by the end of 2024 and planned to increase production to more than
10 million tons in 2025.
Losing Pokrovsk, however, would set back production to 2-3 million tons a year.
