The deputy economic minister Sergey Nazarov has confirmed that the so-called Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics sell coal to Russia, and it in its turn reexports it to other countries.

According to Nazarov, each month some 1 million tons of coal from the occupied Donbass are sold that way.

Thus Russia helps DPR and LPR solve their social infrastructure, budget and pension problems. (Ukrainian metal)
