In the U.S., it was stated that Ukraine has suffered heavy losses in the conflict
October 15, 2025Poland wants to introduce protective measures in response to the growth of duty-free steel imports from Ukraine, as it has threatened the Polish industry.
This was reported by Bloomberg.
Local producers are calling on the authorities to stop these shipments, which increased by about 50 percent in 2024 and by another 27 percent in the first half of 2025.
As Deputy Minister of Development and Technology of Poland Michał Baranowski admitted, this seriously pressures the Polish steel industry.
Therefore, Warsaw has already begun working with the European Commission to find a way to solve this problem — preferably in the short term.
Meanwhile, industry representatives complain that Ukrainian products are not only exempt from tariffs but also do not have to bear energy and environmental costs.
It is noted that the impact of Ukrainian imports has also affected other sectors of the Polish economy. For example, coking coal producer JSW SA admitted that it may require state aid to survive after five consecutive quarters of losses.
Cognor Holding SA CFO Krzysztof Gunia warned that the company’s new $217 million rolling mill could stop operations due to competition from cheap Ukrainian imports.
In early June of this year, Deputy Head of the National Bank of Ukraine Serhiy Nikolaychuk stated that Ukraine’s export losses from the end of the EU’s trade preferences regime in the second half of 2025 would amount to about $800 million.
