Gaz-Aliance Company LLC (Nizhny Novgorod), controlled by the fugitive Ukrainian entrepreneur Sergey Kurchenko, from the ex-president Victor Yanukovich gang, in July-August exported $70.6 million worth of pig iron and other metal products, produced by the metal companies, seized in February-March by the Russia-supported militants on the occupied areas of Lugansk and Donetsk regions.
In late June the company started exporting products manufactured, in particular, by Yenakievo Iron and Steel Works.
At first the products are taken from the occupied territories to Russia by the South Osetia company Vneshtorgservice, which controls companies seized in Donbass. After that the products are registered under Gaz-Aliance, which exports them. (Ukrainian metal)
