Russian strikes halted 90% of Ukraine's steel production – FT

Russian ballistic missile strikes in early September halted operations at Ukraine's three remaining major steel plants in Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts, which previously produced 90% of the country's steel. The shutdown of these plants, including those operated by Metinvest and ArcelorMittal, has significantly impacted production and could affect Ukraine's budget revenue, with repair timelines currently unknown.
