Ukraine refutes completely rumours about radioactive scrap metal export to Russia

Ukraine’s Industrial Policy Ministry refutes information spread by certain Russian mass media. Ukraine has never exported radioactive scrap metal to Russia, Deputy Industrial Policy Minister Volodymyr Hranovsky told Wednesday at the press conference in Dnipropetrovsk.

The Ministry has already worked on the official statement regarding this episode.

“The Industrial Policy Ministry of Ukraine did not issue a license for scrap picking or processing in Chernobyl zone,” reported Hranovsky.

According to him, the scrap metal produced in Ukraine is always subjected to radioactive control. The info out by Russian mass media is a provocation aimed at Ukraine’s discredit, Hranovsky concluded.
