Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zakharova on Kiev's refusal to buy coal: put the United States in place Zelensky to buy coal in the unrecognized territories of Donbass. She wrote about this in her Telegram channel.
“He put the United States in its place,” wrote a representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, commenting on Zelensky's words that Kiev will not buy coal from separatists.
Earlier, Zelensky said that Kiev would not buy coal from the “separatists” in the unrecognized Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR). According to him, Kiev will not pay those who do not recognize the independence of Ukraine.
On November 10, the press secretary of the LPR delegation Maria Kovshar said that representatives of Kiev in the economic subgroup for Donbass were asked to consider the issue of supplying electricity and coal from the self-proclaimed republics of Donbass on a commercial basis. She clarified that the question of buying energy resources was raised on November 9th.
