Russia sells coal from the territory of Donbas not controlled by the Ukrainian authorities to Turkey and possibly to Poland, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has said.
Klimkin said that Russia blended Ukrainian coal with its own coal so that it could not be identified.
“Then the coal goes to Turkey. Now the investigation is underway too, and by the way, we have well-founded suspicions that such coal also went to Poland. I spoke about with Mr. Jacek Czaputowicz, Polish Foreign Minister,” Klimkin said.
As was reported earlier, anthracite from the occupied part of Donbas comes semi-legally to Poland, and profit is received, in particular, by the so-called leader of the “LPR” terrorist organization, Igor Plotnitsky. (Ukrinform/Ukrainian metal)
