On the morning of October 6, Russian troops struck a hospital in Kryvyi Rih with “Banderole”-type cluster munitions. The attack resulted in injuries, including a hospital employee. Additionally, a fire broke out in the city center.
Due to the Russian Federation’s attacks, Ukraine’s largest steel mill, ArcelorMittal, has halted operations.
From January through August 2026, Ukrainian steelmakers reduced exports of merchant pig iron by 16.4% compared to the same period last year, down to 1.03 million metric tons. In August, no pig iron was exported due to the blockade of ports.
As a reminder, Russia is destroying Ukraine’s steel industry, thereby eliminating a competitor in the EU market.
Ukraine’s largest steel mill partially halted operations following a Russian strike.
The combination of Russian strikes on steel mills, problems with maritime logistics, rising transportation costs, and new EU restrictions could lead to a 30–40% reduction in steel production in Ukraine, and iron ore production by approximately 40%.
