I guess we can assume our Russian guest is not Mr. Putin as I don't think he would make us translate such a short post. Would it be worth checking the IP so he is actually posting from Russia rather than the Ukraine or Langley? Perhaps if he was to tell us who feeds him that would resolve that issue.
On with the show, in typical fashion the Vest goes in and destroys the place and then makes the citizens pay for the repairs, not the best way to get the votes, whoops, there is no real vote after that first coup. (reality also says only what the elites need is actually fixed)

Some 80 percent of miners from five coal mines belonging to "Krasnodonugol" enterprise in the city of Krasnodon have not shown up to work. The mines are all owned by one of Ukraine's richest man, Rinat Akhmetov of the mining and metallurgical "Metinvest" corporation.
Angry miners are pressing for wage increases to match region's average pay, better social and living conditions and higher social bonuses. According to the strikers they get between 3,000 ($260) and 6,000 hryvnas ($520), while the average salary in the coal industry in the region is up to 10,000 hryvnas ($860).
Miners are also refusing to pay a 10 percent tax on their salaries, imposed by the post-coup authorities to restore the Maidan square in Kiev. The square and nearby buildings suffered significant damage during months of rallies and the violent standoff that led to a coup in February.
According to local media reports miners have seen around a 10 percent cut in their paychecks to restore the Ukrainian capital.

Moscow is
“surprised” by Kiev’s interpretation of the four-sided Geneva
agreement adopted by Russia, Ukraine, the US and the EU on April 17, it added.
Despite the call for disarmament of
“all the illegal armed groups” specified by the agreement, Kiev, Washington and a number of European leaders
“keep harping on the necessity to ‘hand over weapons’ [referring] only to the Ukrainian citizens defending their rights in southeastern Ukraine.” With that, the Western powers
“are turning a blind eye to the ongoing provocative actions of the gunmen of the far-right groups, including that of the so-called Right Sector.”
Such actions, which have been taking place in both the capital, Kiev, and in southeastern Ukrainian cities,
“have already led to death of people overnight into April 20,” the ministry said.
The statements voiced by the Ukrainian oligarch and multibillionaire Igor Kolomoysky, picked by the Kiev authorities as the governor of the Dnepropetrovsk Region,
“look even more absurd,” the ministry said. Kolomoysky’s deputy Boris Filatov recently announced a $10,000
bounty for each
“Russian mercenary” captured and handed over to the Kiev-backed authorities and a $200,000 reward for each regional administration building freed. Filatov also said the servicemen at the Mariupol military base, who on April 16
killed three people and injured 13 more during an attempted storming allegedly inspired by the anti-government activists, have been paid 500,000 hryvnas ($43,000).
