And about. Energy Minister Yuriy Vitrenko, during a meeting with the management of the Vostochny Mining and Mineral Processing Plant (the only uranium ore producer in the country), said that the company should be wound up due to lack of profitability.

“” From what I see, it is necessary to liquidate it to have a better life in our country. You too, you are also Ukrainians … If it is unproductive to extract uranium from you, you do not need to mine it. A small detail: if we talk about social factors, safety factors, then it is not a matter of the Ministry of Energy. From an energy point of view, it is not necessary, it needs to be liquidated, “Vitrenko said.
