KIEV, Dec. 19 – DTEK energy holding, owned by Rinat Akhmetov, believes that the quickest way of ending the shortage of coal in the country is removing coal from the antiterrorist operation (ATO) zone, Head of the DTEK Anti-Crisis Center Dmytro Sakharuk said at a press conference in Kiev on Thursday.

"At present the cheapest and ecologically friendly kilowatt per hour is coal laying in Donbas, and which can be simply moved to our plants. At present, around 3 million tonnes of anthracite coal is there," he said.
