Last week, Russian strikes in Ukraine targeted the Zaporizhstal metallurgical plant and ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih (AMKR), leading both to suspend operations due to infrastructure damage. These two companies are the largest metallurgical plants in Ukrainian-controlled territory, with comparable production. They are also the biggest taxpayers in their regions, with Zaporizhstal paying 4 billion hryvnia in 2023 and AMKR transferring 8.5 billion hryvnia. Both are major foreign currency generators, with Zaporizhstal (Metinvest group) bringing in approximately $1 billion and AMKR $850-900 million last year. Their products are crucial raw materials for Ukraine's defense industry; Metinvest's "Steel Front" initiative provided 7.5 billion hryvnia in aid, while AMKR contributed up to 1 billion hryvnia. Their tax revenues significantly contribute to local budgets, which in turn fund defensive structure construction in the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
