MOSCOW, November 26. /TASS/. The authorities of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) have imposed an embargo on coal supplies to Ukraine for at least two weeks, acting Director of the Industry Development Department in the administration of the DPR head Eduard Polyakov said on Thursday.
"The embargo on coal supplies to Ukraine has been imposed for two weeks, according to preliminary data," the Donetsk News Agency quoted him as saying.
The DPR’s decision has been prompted by Kiev’s delay of payments for coal supplies, he added.
