Ukraine in the conditions of halting supplies of anthracite from areas that are not under control of the government in the anti-terrorist operation (ATO) zone would cut consumption of anthracite and will cover its shortage thanks to diversified imports, refusing to ship coal from Russia, Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has said.
“Of course, we need to buy lacking coal in different countries. I want to say: I back purchases in the United States, Australia in other countries, but not from the aggressor,” he said at a press conference in Kyiv on April 11.
“There is no resolution of banning imports of anthracite from Russia, but I think that it is important for us to diversify and not supply it from Russia,” he added. (Interfax-Ukraine/Ukrainian metal)
