Ukraine's steel industry is in the critical state, seeing production stoppages caused by Russian attacks, cost optimisation, dependence on imports and new EU trade restrictions, Oleksandr Vodoviz, Head of the CEO's Office at Metinvest Group, told the Polish business portal Strefa Biznesu.
The metallurgical group encouraged Brussels to consider a temporary special tax regime for CBAM for Ukraine, as well as to take a special approach in the revision of steel import quotas.
