Ukrainian Prime-Minister Arseni Yatsenyuk has ordered the Ministry for energy and coal industry to immediately start freighting ships for coal deliveries.
He said supplies from Russia were unreliable.
“The Russians will cut coal supplies in no time, be sure of that”, said he.
Yatsenyuk added that under present circumstances Ukraine had to diversify coal buying.
Last year Ukraine purchased anthracite coal from the South African Republic.
At present anthracite mines are located on the territories that Ukraine doesn’t control. (Ukrainian Metal)
