Coal from Russian-annexed Donbas sold in NATO member Turkey
At least $14.3 million worth of coal produced in areas of Ukraine illegally annexed by Russia has been exported to NATO member Turkey this year, according to Russian customs data reviewed by Reuters.
Between February and July 2023, about 160,400 tonnes of coal from the annexed eastern Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk arrived in Turkey, the data showed. Three producers listed in the customs data confirmed to Reuters they had shipped coal from the two regions to Turkey during that period.
