In 2016 Ukraine will not be buying coal from the South African Republic, said the head of the Ministry of energy and coal industry Igor Nasalik.
“We will stop buying coal. Under the current circumstances and taking into account our abilities, we no longer need to buy their coal”, said the minister.
“Our stocks allow us to survive winter without any additional purchases”, he added.
At the same time he refused to state how much coal was purchased in 2015 from the Kiev-uncontrolled territories of Donbass. (Ukrainian metal)
