KIEV, May 5 – Zaporizhstal, part of Metinvest Group, boosted supplies to the European market by 60% in 2014, while supplies to Russia fell due to the devaluation of the Russian ruble and the non-attractiveness of its market.

Zaporizhstal Director General Rostyslav Shurma said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine that the Ukrainian market is a top-priority market for the company as it is close to it, although metal roll consumption in the country fell by over 30% due to the situation in the economy.
