We, the International Coordination Group of the International Miners' Coordination, wish you a successful new year 2023. We look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible to the 3rd International Miners' Conference 2023 in Thuringia/Germany from 30 August to 3 September 2023. Especially in these times, where brutal competition is carried out on the backs of the workers, the masses and especially us, the miners and our families, up to the acute danger of a World War III with nuclear weapons, we have to set a sign and push our unification forward and develop it higher.

The world's miners have a special responsibility for future generations. On the one hand, raw materials are needed now and in the future, and on the other hand, they must be extracted in such a way that people's livelihoods are not jeopardised. Miners, environmental and youth fighters belong together! We want to fight for this together and internationally - out for the International Day of Struggle to Save the Environment!

we have received the following information about this article from our miners in Ukraine: "I have carefully investigated the situation in our mine 9. Unfortunately, it turned out that it was far from being as simple as described in the article. This mine is state-owned and controlled by the Ministry of Energy. The ministry has appointed a new director and the old director has organised resistance. This struggle has been exacerbated by the fact that money from the budget is allocated for the purchase of coal and the mine has the opportunity to earn and extract coal.
