Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said he sees attempts to manipulate the Cabinet of Ministers in the situation with coal supply from South Africa.

"I believe the Fuel and Energy Ministry and the government are being manipulated, I believe the company should resume the supply of coal from South Africa. There are companies that are interested in making us dependent on Russia or false organizations such as the DPR and the LPR," Avakov said at a government meeting on Wednesday.
