Ukraine and the EU seek to displace Russian metal from the EU market.

Ukrainian authorities are working with the EU on the issue of replacing Russian products on the EU market with Ukrainian products. In 2023, authorities will continue the dialogue on expanding the presence of Ukrainian mining and metallurgical complex products on the European market, said the trade representative of Ukraine, Taras Kachka. According to him, the current year will be difficult and intensive in terms of the dialogue, the purpose of which is to expand relations between Ukraine and the EU in the metallurgical sector at the level of industry associations and producers with the institutions of the EU. Kachka emphasized that the EU is currently reviewing the previously established anti-dumping duties on Russian and Ukrainian metal products. But the association of European steel producers (EUROFER) turned to the European Commission with a proposal to withdraw Ukraine from the review.
