Coking coal supplies from Russia to Metinvest and Industrial Union of Donbass (ISD) companies have been stopped.
“Coal loaded on November 20-23, is in transit, and we expect to receive it. But the suppliers prepare no new batches. We have no official information on the delays and reasons. And we are unsure whether they are short- or long-term”, said ISD.
ArcelorMittal Kriviy Rih doesn’t buy coal from Russia, but does use its territory to transport coal from Kazakhstan.
At the same time Evraz-Ukraine says there is no decrease in coal supplies to its companies. But Russian share in coal imports is not critical, as the company buys from several sources. (Ukrainian metal)
