Deep underground in southeastern Ukraine, miners work around the clock extracting coal to power the country's war effort and to provide civilians with light and heat.
Coal is central to meeting Ukraine's energy needs following the Russian military's six-month campaign to destroy power stations and other infrastructure, the chief engineer of a mining company in Dnipropetrovsk province said.
Russia's attacks on Ukraine's nuclear, thermal and other power stations continue to disrupt electricity service as the war grinds on for a second year. Shelling has damaged the plant numerous times, raising fears of a possible nuclear meltdown. Russian missiles have also threatened the power lines needed to operate vital cooling equipment at Zaporizhzhia and Ukraine's other nuclear plants.
"We come and work with optimism, trying not to think about what is going on outside the mine," a miner named Serhii said. "We work with a smile and forget about it. And when we leave, then another life begins , of survival and everything else."
