The authorities of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, a terrorist organization, supported by Russia, on the occupied territory of Ukraine, have started negotiations with the major mining companies of Russia on the delivery of raw materials.
The non-existing Ministry of industry of the DPR informs that it is negotiating with the following: Lebedinsky and Mikhailovsky GOKs (part of Metalloinvest), Karelsky Okatysh (a part of Severstal), ferroalloy works and Kuzbass coalmining companies. On March 27, Metalloinvest denied holding any talks with DPR.
The terrorists intend to revive metal industry. They believe that Russia will be able to completely cover all needs of the DPR in the raw materials. As sales markets the terrorists view Russia, EAES and CIS.
It should be noted that when the first information on the negotiations appeared the Kremlin denied having talks with the major mining companies on opening new markets. Time will show if it is so. But too often it has shown that the Kremlin has been head over heels in lies. (Ukrainian metal)
