Europe will face steel shortages

Russia and Ukraine are among the major exporters of ferrous metals. According to data provided by the Russian Federal Customs Service, in 2021 Russia will send 3.7 million tons of steel products to EU countries, and Ukraine will export more than 2.5 million tons of steel products to EU countries. 

 

However, since the war between Russia and Ukraine, many Ukrainian steel companies have announced the suspension of production, and the steel products parked at the port have not been shipped. Distributors said the ongoing military action on Ukrainian soil and sanctions against Russia by the United States and Western countries could lead to a shortage of steel and iron ore in Europe.
