KYIV, Nov 26 – President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that it was possible to ensure coal supplies from the United States thanks to his agreements at the highest level in this country, while he called on private generating companies to join forces in ensuring the passage of the heating season.

"This should be solidarity work. If it's bad with this or that country and they officially cannot sell you some kind of coal, then a private structure should come, help and buy. If I agree at the highest level, I repeat, at the highest level from the United States, so that 11 ships of coal would sail here. Do you think that I said that you should give us, but don't give DTEK? Nothing of this kind. I say 'us.' The heating season is in our country," Zelensky said at a press conference in Kyiv on Friday.
