Ukraine Increases Steel Production Despite Loss of Coking Coal Mine

Ukraine is experiencing a rise in steel production in early 2025, achieving a 9.9% increase in raw steel output to 1.18 million metric tons, despite the suspension of operations at its key coking coal mine in Pokrovsk. The loss of this vital resource comes as the country navigates the ongoing impacts of Russia's invasion, which had previously devastated its steel industry. While Ukrainian steelmakers express optimism about sourcing coking coal from alternative localities, the need for imports raises concerns about increased production costs.
