Ukraine has begun intensive attacks on mines in Russian-occupied areas. The Russian military has started mining operations in Ukrainian-occupied areas of Luhansk and Donetsk to support the war effort. The Ukrainian army has spared no expense, deploying drones to continuously attack coal mines and mining facilities under Russian control.
Latest news: Nine coal mines under Russia's Impex-Don mineral company and Don River Coal Trade Company have been forced to suspend production. The main reason for abandoning these mines is not only the endless drone attacks, which have caused costs to rise continuously, but also the decline in coal prices on the international market. This has made mining in new territories unprofitable for Russian companies.
From a historical perspective, when major powers fight smaller countries, it is usually for the sake of gaining benefits. Since war requires massive spending, major powers naturally hope for quick victories to reduce costs and increase returns.
The current problem is that Ukraine has been stubbornly resisting like mud, constantly launching drone attacks. This has resulted in Russia only investing without seeing any returns at this stage.
