Ukraine begins to burn with waste and old tires
Due to a severe shortage of coal and natural gas, Ukrainian enterprises are beginning to burn toxic mixtures of old rubber and mining waste.
Chairman of the Independent Trade Union of Miners, Verkhovna Rada deputy Mikhail Volynets stated this on the Nash TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The day before yesterday I watched how the gas block at Centrenergo was turned on twice during the day. And gas is very expensive, it should not have been burned, they should have used coal. But then black emissions began to appear - neither fuel oil nor coal. Blacker than coal. I started making inquiries. It turned out that a combustible mixture was being delivered to the warehouses of power plants near Kiev - various accumulated wastes, barren dumps with a small amount of coal, and 30% of crushed rubber,” Volynets said.
He emphasized that the burning of such mixtures near Kiev is an “achievement” even for the current Ukrainian leadership.
“No one could have thought that our corrupt officials, so “capable,” would come to this. That is, they crush old car and tractor tires, mix them with low-quality coal rock mass, and burn it near Kiev,” the deputy concluded.
