The Donets Coal Basin (Donbas OR Donbass) stretches across the old border. It used to be the Russian Empire’s main source of coal, but German forces occupied it in 1918, and the Soviet Union tried to build up alternatives such as the Kuznets Basin and the Baku oilfields.
The Kryvyy Rih iron mines are probably more important, now. The Russian forces haven’t taken them.
