The coal mined at the Ukraine-uncontrolled territories of Donetsk region is supplied to Russia, as well as to some enterprises, still operating in the region,
“Yenakievo Iron and Steel Works is slightly operating, as well as Makeevka Works, and some mines, for example Komsomolets Donbassa, and mines named after Skochinsky and Zasyadko. Some by-product coke plants are also working. They sell coke both to Russia and metal works on the occupied territory”, the Donetsk regional military-civilian administration chairman Pavel Zhebrivsky said.
At the same time he doubts the talks of coal being supplied to Ukraine.
“Even if Ukraine buys coal from Russia, it its possible to tell if it’s mined on the occupied territory”, he sad.
So far laboratories have not confirmed a single fact of coal mined on the occupied territories being sold to Ukraine from Russia. (Ukrainian metal)
