KYIV, Aug 31 – Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal congratulated workers of the coal industry on their professional holiday and noted the need for reforms in the industry, according to the government portal.

"Your profession is one of the most dangerous and one of the most worthy in the world. It is not for nothing that your chest is decorated with orders and medals, because it is really a challenge to go down into the mine every day. We highly appreciate the work of miners, courageous and hardy people, professionals that demonstrate responsibility and solidarity in fulfilling the assigned tasks," Shmyhal said during a meeting with miners within his working trip to Kramatorsk, Donetsk region on Sunday, August 30.
