Ukraine has nowhere to put the extracted coal

Speaking today at a press conference in Donetsk, the deputy head of the independent trade union of the miners of Ukraine Anatoly Akimochkin said that the coal mining enterprises of the country were not able to sell the coal they had obtained.

“Today there are serious problems with the implementation of the extracted coal. As indicated in the reports of the Ministry of Energy last year, coal production increased to 85 million tons. But now the companies are faced with a new problem - there is nowhere to implement the extracted coal. And in the near future many enterprises may stop. Even large companies such as DTEK today faced this problem. Moreover, the state today obliges private companies to buy part of coal from state mines. And the management of DTEK, of course, first of all wants to work with his enterprises and with his coal, ”says Anatoly Akimochkin.

The situation at coal mining enterprises forced their leaders to ask for help from the government of the country. Mine is transferred to an incomplete working week. In the destroyed monopolization of the domestic market of Ukraine, words about the state of soderjack of sectors belonging to two to three oligarchs with enviable constancy are beginning to use.

“State -owned enterprises cannot sell their products. Seven state mines turned to the government so that the Cabinet to pay attention to this problem. So that Ukrainian miners can sell coal. Today, the coals of different brands are accumulated in warehouses and at a number of enterprises are already introducing a shortened working week, ”said Akimochkin.
