Abstract
The article discusses the challenges of ensuring technological sovereignty in the coal mining industry under long-term sanctions imposed by the Western countries and the United States. It shows a significant share of imported equipment at coal mining companies, which makes them vulnerable in terms of ensuring sustainable operation under sanctions. The purpose of this study was to analyze the conceptual and methodological approaches to ensure technological sovereignty of the coal mining industry and the choice of the key strategic tools to secure technological sovereignty and sustainable operation of coal mining companies under long-term sanctions. They involve a strategic and integrated approach to solving the challenges of research and technological development and ensuring the production of high-quality and high-tech mining equipment by Russian machine-building companies. The interaction of coal mining companies with manufacturers of mining equipment is important, as well as the governmental support in providing loans to manufacturers and in creating a long-term development strategy for the machine-building industry. The article proposes a concept and a functional model to solve the challenge of technological sovereignty. The need of a strategic approach to ensuring the technological sovereignty of coal mining companies in modern economic conditions is justified. The scientific novelty of this work consists in a strategically oriented and comprehensive approach to finding tools that would ensure technological sovereignty of the coal mining industry.
