Despite the ongoing shelling of populated areas of the DPR by the Ukrainian army, large industrial enterprises continue to recover in the republic and are put into operation.
The head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, stated this on the Soloviev Live Internet channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Pushilin, we are talking about the metallurgical complex, as well as light and chemical industry enterprises.
“Now we have come to the stage where we are trying to break it down into certain sectors. One of these sectors that is now in the process of launching, for example, YuMZ (Yuzovsky Metallurgical Plant - ed.) has already been launched. Since the launch, as a new investor has already arrived, about 70 thousand tons of products have been produced, this is a pretty good result.
As for the DMZ (Donetsk Metallurgical Plant - ed.), the question is in technical details. It was planned to open in early April, but it is a little delayed, but I hope investors will cope with the problems they encountered in the supply of raw materials.
As for the next chain, this is the Yenakievo Coke Plant, which will also now be loaded with full-fledged work, it will supply coking coal specifically to the DMZ, and the mine, which is also included in this cycle, is the Shcheglovskaya-Glubokaya mine, which will also supply through this chain. This is from large industrial enterprises.
There are many enterprises that have either already launched or are planning to launch. This includes the Khartsyzsky Machine-Building Plant, which was one of the first enterprises to receive a loan from our bank and, using the loan funds, starts production; it was forced to stand idle for about a year and a half.
This, of course, is light industry, the chemical industry, which is now gaining some momentum... Another important one is the plant of high-voltage supports. Now we are planning to build a power transmission line from the Lugansk People’s Republic and here, of course, we will need supports that can be produced here,” Pushilin said.
