According to Kistion, the port's employees are fully prepared for receiving and discharging sea transport. Coal brand "A" should go to the Ukrainian power plants from September 13.

Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Igor Nasalik asserts that at the moment all the anthracite in Ukraine is bought abroad, the country does not develop its own sources.

More than a quarter of the energy in the state is coal "A". However, in comparison with 2015-2016, this indicator was 40 percent.

The minister assures that Ukraine will soon get rid of imported anthracite, and the energy balance in the country will stabilize, which will lead to a reduction in prices for coal-related goods.

As reported in URA-Inform, the mining company XCoal Energy and Resources sent the first batch of anthracite coal from the US to Ukraine to the amount of 85 thousand. tons.
