Govt completely bans export of Ukrainian coal
KYIV. Sept 7 (Interfax-Ukraine) – At a meeting on Wednesday, the Cabinet of Ministers completely banned the export of Ukrainian coal, Taras Melnychuk, a representative of the government in the Verkhovna Rada, said on his Telegram channel.
"Changes have been made to the volume of quotas for goods which export is subject to licensing, approved by Resolution No. 1424 of the Cabinet of Ministers of December 29, 2021, in terms of a complete ban on the export of coal of Ukrainian origin," Melnychuk wrote.
Earlier, the Cabinet of Ministers, by Resolution No. 666 of June 10, 2022, made similar changes to Resolution No. 1424 of December 29, 2021, setting zero quotas and thereby banning the export of natural gas, fuel oil, as well as hard coal, anthracite, briquettes, pellets and similar types of solid fuels obtained from hard coal, except for coking coal.
According to the State Customs Service, since the beginning of 2022, Ukraine’s coal exports amounted to 450,600 tonnes for $145.917 million, including to Slovakia for $93.349 million, Poland for $34.084 million, Hungary for $15.919 million, and other countries for $2.565 million.
In January-July 2021, exports amounted to 200 tonnes for $25,000.
