Ukraine and USA have started negotiations on coal deliveries, as an alternative to coal supplies from the occupied territories.
According to a participant of the negotiations, an energy market expert Vitaly Kropachev, after the meeting with the US Ministry of Energy it was decided to create a working group to develop options.
“We have discussed the option of American coal with long-term contract with discount, so that the price suits both Ukrainian consumers and American producers”, he said.
The parties discussed the anthracite group of coal, as Ukraine had enough of G-grade coal, since it was mined on the controlled territory. (Ukrainian metal)
