Due to a labor shortage, Metinvest has cut retraining from 9–12 to 3–5 months, expanded the Steel Force program to three new countries, and employed 500 vocational school graduates in 2025.

Ukrainian metallurgy faces a critical crisis in August 2026: the EU has cut steel quotas, while Russia blocks ports. Experts predict a 60% drop in exports and losses of up to 12 percentage points of GDP.

⚠️ The EU has introduced strict steel quotas that hit both Ukraine and Europe. As of July 1, 2026, limits have been cut by 47%, and tariffs have risen to 50%. The Brussels Times notes that this undermines Ukraine's defense and disrupts European supply chains, while the import of Russian steel is still permitted until 2028. European steel security and Ukraine's survival should not be competing goals.
