KIEV, Nov. 30 – Metinvest, the largest Ukrainian private mining and metal company is considering the increase of imports of coking coal from its coalmines in the United States, if the blocking of coking coal supplies from Russia and the territories of Donbas that are not under control of the Ukrainian government continues.
Metinvest CEO Yuriy Ryzhenkov said at a briefing in Kiev on November 27 that at present, all enterprises of the group have enough coal.
"There are almost no problems with coke in Ukraine. Coke-chemical facilities are enough in the country to supply coke to metal companies. Avdiyivka Coke-Chemical Plant is loaded by 60% today, as there is no need in more coke," he said.
