“Yesterday, at the subgroup on economic issues, the Ukrainian side asked to discuss the issue of commercial supplies of electricity and coal from Donbass to Ukraine,” Kovshar quoted RIA Novosti as saying.
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the LPR and the plenipotentiary of the republic at the Minsk talks, Vladislav Deinogo, said that the republics of Donbass are ready to discuss this issue.
He noted that the people's republics "treated this problem with understanding."
Earlier, the plenipotentiary of Russia at the negotiations of the trilateral contact group on the Donbass, Boris Gryzlov, said that the representatives of Kiev at the meeting ignored the constructive proposals of the self-proclaimed republics.
