Artemsil (Ukrainian: Артемсіль) or Artemsol (Russian: Артёмсоль) is a temporarily defunct state-owned industrial association for salt production in the Donetsk oblast, Ukraine, one of the largest in the world.
It ceased its operations in May 2022 due to the facilities being partially destroyed by Russian forces advancing in the region.
[citation needed] It consists of five mines with a complete cycle of salt production, auxiliary services, significant housing and social funds.
The railway, which Artemsil primarily used to transport salt, was also constantly being shelled, preventing shipments to other parts of the country.
[7] In February 2023, the Ukrainian government sold 100,000 packs of Artemsil salt (20 tons in total) for $12.5 each, to fund FPV drones for its army via the United24 website.
