Ukraine's steel industry is effectively dead after Russian ballistic missile strikes knocked out all three remaining large steelworks (Zaporizhstal, Kametstal, ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih) since August. 

Metinvest: 


> As of today, Ukraine no longer has a steel industry.
> 
> The plants produced ~90% of remaining output, employed 15,000+, and had already shrunk from 21Mt pre-war to 7.4Mt in 2025. 
> 
> August output crashed 57% year-on-year; September will be worse. 
> 
> The sector once contributed 7% of GDP and 15% of exports — now approaching zero. 
> 
> EU quota cuts, port closures, and loss of coking coal had already crippled the industry before the strikes.
