"I'll be frank with you: we cannot do today without the ATO area ... We can provide half (purchased quantity of anthracite coal - OstroV) due to other supplies, but the possible transshipment is not more than 400 thousand tons per month ... So, we can provide only half (purchased quantity of anthracite coal - OstroV) alternatively, and the second half - no,"- said the Minister.
