To spread: Russian metal products in the European market are sold at low prices....

Russian metal exporters distort competition in the European market, it needs to be changed, - Metinvest SOO

To spread: Russian metal products in the European market are sold at low prices. Both Ukrainian exporters and European manufacturers are suffering from this, so this situation needs to be corrected. Metinvest's commercial director Dmitry Nikolaenko has told this for a major interview for FAQ Talks. "We have a quota for the supply of Russian semi -finished products, including workpieces, slabs and commodity cast iron, to European markets. This quota is gradually diminishing and must disappear.

The Russians are forced to sell at low prices, it creates an imbalance in the market. We emphasize this at different levels. We have to compete in such conditions. He also noted that now the US cast iron market is more beneficial to Ukrainian exports than the European - it is because of the lack of Russian cast iron that reduces the overall price level. "The US market is only working with Ukrainian and Brazilian cast iron.

In general, the markets have become more oriented to Ukraine, including Eastern European and Western European ones, which can be serviced through land transportation," he says. We will remind, according to the results of 2024, the European Union imported from Russia 5. 34 million tons of production of the mining and metallurgical complex.
