Donetsk regional administration has managed to release four out of 10 trains transporting coal, which were held by the Security Service of Ukraine, jointly with tax agencies, to Vuhlehirsk thermal power plant (TPP) in Donetsk Region, which belongs to the state enterprise Centrenergo.

"Today from the Krasny Lyman station four trains with coal departed for Vuhlehirsk thermal power plant, although six trains with coal for thermal power plants are still detained," reads an administration report published on Saturday, January 17.
