The total export and sale of iron ore raw materials have increased significantly – to more than 12 million tonnes in 2024. But 2025 has significant challenges to the industry, and the main ones are the tariff and environmental policy of the state. Metinvest CEO Yuri Ryzhenkov told this in an interview with Forbes.

Among the new SEO challenges, Metinvest has identified access to the financing of the MUMC modernization and green transition projects, as well as ensuring a stable demand for Ukrainian steel in the domestic market of Ukraine.

Of these, UAH 4.4 billion is for the needs of the army, within the framework of the militant initiative, the steel front of Rinat Akhmetov’s steel front. In addition, in 2024, Metinvest transferred to budgets of all levels in Ukraine UAH 19.8 billion, which is 61% of the total volume of deductions of metallurgical enterprises of the state. This makes the company the largest taxpayer of the GMC.
