KYIV, April 30 – The abolition of duties by the European Union on Ukrainian mining and metals products after the full-scale Russian invasion opened the European market for metallurgical companies, ensuring production stability, said Andriy Kryl, head of international relations of Metinvest Group, during Ukraine's Future Summit.

"First of all, I would like to thank the Commission (European Commission) and the European Union for the abolition of trade protection measures that were in force at the time of the Russian invasion, because this helped us maintain volumes. I speak on behalf of all Ukrainian steel producers, because the lifting of these measures opened up the market for us, and this helped ensure the stability and performance of our enterprises," said the top manager.
