The Donetsk People’s Republic authorities have not yet confirmed the reports on the death of 30 miners. “So far I can say that 32 people are in the mine at present. One was killed.  It is, at least, unethical to say that those people were killed before rescuers find them,” Ivan Prikhodko, the head of the Kievsky and Kuybishevsky districts in Donetsk told the Donetsk News Agency today.
