" on the ground of Ukraine passes a very limited number. The border accumulated a greater amount than miss. The problem is, " said Demchyshyn answering the question, what is the situation with the passage of wagons with coal at the Russian border.
The Minister believes that the situation in Kiev there is no other choice but to import coal." In addition, imports as we have no other option. The cost of a kilowatt of electricity produced using coal, at least 2 times lower than in Gaza. Clearly, the coal must be imported, " said he.

However, after a few days they are not fully recovered. However, the Russian energy organization, and Railways denied that there are any limits or taboos on supply of coal Ukraine.
now Ukraine is experiencing serious problems with the electricity in the country there is a shortage of coal to the power station, because the vast number of mines of Donbass, came under the control of the militia. The state company " Ukrenergo " December 1, conducts a power outage due to power shortage in the nation's power grid, connected, and among them a shortage of coal. Kiev due to these forced to import coal, and among them from Russia.
