GMK Center CEO: Ukraine’s Iron and Steel Industry Fights On

Three months of war in Ukraine have wreaked havoc on the country’s iron and steel industry and caused repercussions across the global economy, but industry and the country of Ukraine continue to fight back.

In this week’s SMU Community Chat, Stanislav Zinchenko, CEO of the GMK Center, spoke with us on the impact Russia’s invasion has had on the steel sector of Ukraine and across the globe. GMK Center is a Kyiv-based think tank focused on the iron and steel industry. And it continued working even during the early, chaotic days of the invasion.
