As to the report, Volodymyr Omelyan, Ukrainian Minister of Infrastructure, Ms. Marie L. Yovanovitch, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America in Ukraine and Maxim Stepanov, Head of Odessa Regional State Administration, took part in the ceremony of the vessel meeting.

It is to be admitted, the Ukrainian government had declared a state of emergency within the national energy sector in connection with the blockade of coal shipments from the occupied regions of Donbas. So, the ban on the coal import has actually left the Ukrainian TPPs, which produce electricity, without anthracite.
