KIEV, Feb. 22 – The Ukrainian energy sector has no alternative to anthracite coal for the next three years, Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman said at a government meeting.

"In the medium term outlook – one, two and three years – we do not have an alternative to anthracite coal," he said.

The prime minister expressed confidence that the government would cope with the situation in the energy sector in the conditions of blocking the supplies of anthracite from occupied territories of Donbas.
