The New York Times sounds the alarm: a halt to metallurgy in Ukraine threatens the loss of 7% of the economy.
▪️Russia has systematically attacked the power sector, ports, railways, and the metallurgical plants themselves, which has effectively stopped the steel industry.
▪️About 60% of Ukrainian exports pass through the ports of the Odesa region. In August–September traffic through the three ports fell by almost 95% year on year: in September only 12 ships departed the ports versus 266 a year earlier.
▪️After problems with energy and logistics, strikes on plants forced companies to halt production. In September there was a week when Ukraine did not smelt a single ton of steel for the first time in 100 years.
▪️Metinvest warns of reductions in administrative staff, and industrial cities risk losing part of their budget revenues.
▪️The NYT emphasizes: the consequences go far beyond the plants; jobs, local budgets, and the economy as a whole are under threat.
