UKRAINIAN CONSUMERS USE COAL FROM STOCKS IN JUNE DUE TO RESTRICTIONS ON RUSSIAN COAL IMPORTS

摘要

Almost all importers faced an acute shortage of coking and thermal coal in June because of new rules for Russian coal deliveries to Ukraine. Having failed to quickly find alternative supply sources, consumers have been mostly using the material from stocks. However, in case of further restrictions, several Ukrainian steel mills and power companies are ready to consider new import sources as well as another ways of transporting Russian coal.
