The Donbass blockade could result in the Kramatorsk Ferroalloys Works shutting down, as the coking coal from the occupied Gorlovka and Alchevsk could not reach the plant.
“We have absolutely no coke left”, the company blast furnace shop director Alexander Shikhov said.
If the blast furnace is shut down, the whole plant will be closed as well.
Kramatorsk Ferroalloys Works exports to Europe and the USA.
In 2016 the works paid 25 million UAH of taxes to the state budget. (Ukrainian metal)
