DNR announces a trade blockade Kiev

DONETSK, March 3 — RIA Novosti. The self-proclaimed head of the Donetsk national Republic Alexander Zakharchenko said that the residents of the Donbass have learned to live under siege by the Ukrainian security forces, now the DNI announces the blockade of Kiev.

“We cut all ties with Ukraine, which are fighting. Yes, sold the coal to get money to pay salaries here. But due to the fact that we have learned to live under siege, we are announcing a blockade of Ukraine”, — he said at a press conference on Friday.

In late January, a group of former members of the military operation in the Donbass, including the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine blocked in some parts of the freight rail traffic from the uncontrolled Kiev territory of Donbass.

They stated that, in their opinion, any trade with the breakaway republics is illegal. The blockade has led to shortages of anthracite coal, which is mined in the uncontrolled territories of Kiev Donbass.

In this regard, the Ukrainian authorities were forced to introduce emergency measures in the energy sector with the aim of saving resources and a number of industrial enterprises to stop production.
