Dear fellow countrymen, dear Donetsk citizens,
The day of Sunday turned into a tragedy for families of miners in Yenakiyevo Town. A blast in Karl Marx Mine blocked our fellow miners underground. The mine employees on the surface were injured too.

But we believe they will be saved. We cherish hope for better.

I want to express sincere condolence to the blast victims and assure that we will help and support everybody, every family in trouble.

The Foundation for Development of Ukraine and FC Shakhtar have taken up organization issues and are doing everything possible to provide maximum help to the victims.

We hope and believe the miners will be saved!

Rinat Akhmetov
President
