    ArcelorMittal told the government of Ukraine that it is unable to restart operations at its ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih steel plant in a “safe and sustainable manner” following Russian missile attacks.

    The Luxembourg-based steelmaker said there have been four attacks, the most recent of which was on Sept. 21. The attacks have claimed five lives and have injured 17 employees.
