The author of the material refers to a conversation with one of the workers of the Zaporozhye Ferroalloy Plant, which belongs to Kolomoisky. The reason for the protests will be an increase in electricity prices for the Nikopol and Zaporozhye ferroalloy plants, the Ordzhonikidze and Marganets mining and processing plants.
“Several groups of professional agitators have already visited the plant and made it clear that everyone will have to participate in the actions,” the author quotes the interlocutor.
To strengthen protest sentiments, Kolomoisky plans to suspend the operation of these enterprises due to the alleged unprofitability of industrial production. Since some plant workers have already been warned to write leave requests in advance at their own expense.
