Several iron and steel works, situated on the Ukraine-uncontrolled territories of Donetsk and Lugansk regions, have been stopped because of the Donetsk railway strike.
A week ago railroaders went on a strike demanding their salaries to be paid.
Alchevsk Iron and Steel Works has temporarily closed-down all of its blast furnaces. Yenakievo Iron and Steel Works and both of its subsidiaries have problems with raw materials supplies. Operation at Makeevka subsidiary was stopped, as Yenakievo couldn’t supply rolled metal. The works output dropped to 2.1 thousand tons per day after the strike started. (Ukrainian metal)
