The head of one of Ukraine's largest steel enterprises has voiced concerns that Ukraine has been "bundled together" with China under the European Union's restrictions on cheap imported products. These measures, primarily designed to curb low-cost imports from China, have inadvertently impacted Ukrainian steel exports as well. The executive emphasised that the EU's tariff policies, intended to shield its domestic market from unfair competition, have had unintended consequences for Ukraine's steel industry, complicating its trade relations with the bloc. The source report did not provide further details on the specific impacts or any responses from Ukrainian authorities or the EU.
