As of January 12, 2022, in Ukraine, out of the main operating production facilities, 17 out of 21 blast furnaces, 7 out of 8 open-hearth furnaces, 12 out of 16 converters, 5 out of 15 electric furnaces and 16 out of 17 continuous casting machines were in operation. Now 20% are in working condition, which work at half their capacity.
