Ukraine’s biggest steelmaker, Metinvest BV, suspended half of its Ukrainian coal production as fighting raged in the Donetsk region.
The company halted a site in the area of Pishchane village near Pokrovsk, the epicenter of recent battles with Russian troops. The mine is one of three in the vicinity. Core personnel and their family members have been evacuated, Metinvest said in a statement on Thursday.
