基辅独立报，1月13日
随着俄军持续逼近波克洛夫斯克市，乌克兰在该市附近停止开采炼焦煤，路透社于1月13日
引述匿名消息人士报导。
“他们现在都已经停工了，”路透社一位消息人士表示。另一位消息人士则补充说：“没有
生产，只在地面上作业。”
位于波克洛夫斯克以西约10公里（6英里）的波克洛夫斯克煤矿，是东欧规模最大的煤矿之
一，主要生产用于炼钢所需的炼焦煤。钢铁是乌克兰仅次于农产品的第二大出口项目。
该煤矿由钢铁制造商Metinvest BV拥有，是乌克兰境内唯一生产炼焦煤的矿场。
该镇附近的东部战线在过去几个月里一直发生激烈战斗，也是俄军在顿内次克州进攻的焦点
，因为波克洛夫斯克对乌军的后勤补给至关重要。
根据贸易数据，2024年前八个月的钢铁产品出口总值近20亿美元。
专家指出，乌克兰钢铁制造商在2024年底前可能生产高达750万公吨钢铁，并计划在2025年
将产量提升至超过1000万公吨。
然而，一旦失去波克洛夫斯克，产量可能会降至每年200万至300万公吨。

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.
