Petr Poroshenko has signed a decree to impose a moratorium on the bankruptcy of state mines until January 1, 2019.
The decree prohibits accounts arrests and the procedure of bankruptcy unless by the order of the Ministry of energy and coal industry.
Accounts arrests result in non-payment of salary to state miners, moreover coal companies cannot pay for electricity in time, as the debts have already amounted to 5.27 billion UAH. (Ukrainian metal)
