Donbas is dominated by heavy industry, such as coal mining and metallurgy. It is a significant supplier of [[coal]] with estimated reserves of 60 billion tonnes of coal. In March 2017, Ukrainian President [[Petro Poroshenko]], who came to power in the [[Maidan coup]], imposed an economic boycott on goods exported from Donetsk and Luhansk, meaning that Ukraine does not buy coal from the Donets Coal Basin.<ref>[https://economics.unian.info/2338645-ukrainian-energy-industry-thorny-road-of-reform.html Ukrainian energy industry: thorny road of reform], Ukrainian Independent Information Agency (10 January 2018)</ref>
