During the presentation, First Deputy Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories Rostyslav Zamlynskyi said that the controlled territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions have the largest number of coal enterprises compared to other coal regions of Ukraine and most of them are in mono-cities. In addition, the demarcation line nearby literally exclude traditional investment processes. That is why the search for creative ideas to create new jobs comes to front. The proposed holding of Hackathons meets these conditions.
The People's Deputy of Ukraine, member of the parliamentary group on fair transformation of coal territories Yuriy Kamelchuk noted that the closure of mines is, first of all, new prospects for the development of territories, but before closing the mine it is necessary to have a program to create new jobs.
