Russian steel plants operating in the EU in year 4 of the full-scale war | UP investigation

Since 24 February 2022, Ukrainian society has witnessed numerous examples of the West’s cynical game of playing both sides. For instance, it was only in late 2024 that partners who had resolutely condemned Russian aggression for three years suddenly noticed the existence of Russia’s shadow fleet – which, despite sanctions, has been transporting Russian oil across the globe for years. Not just in plain sight, but on radar screens as well. Meanwhile, Europe is currently purchasing metal from a Russian factory that simultaneously supplies metal to 22 facilities belonging to the Russian defence industrial base. Some shipments go to Denmark, Belgium and Italy, while others are used to produce missiles, drones, tanks and even nuclear weapons. Moreover, the owner of this factory has plants in Europe that are still operating successfully today. The mining and metallurgical industry is Russia’s third-largest source of income after oil and gas. Eurostat revealed that during the three years of the full-scale invasion, Russia sold nearly €10bn worth of metallurgical products to EU countries. Watch the video for more details.
