The Cabinet approved today, August 29, the decision on the ban of importation of cement clinker from Russia. The Ministry of economic development explained, “with the goal of protecting the interests of national economic security and interests of Ukrainian producers of cement.”

“The introduction of cement clinkers in the list of prohibited to import to Ukraine of goods originated from the Russian Federation occurs within the framework of economic policies against discriminatory actions against Ukraine from the aggressor state. According to the results of 2017 increase in the import of cement clinkers from Russia to Ukraine almost two two compared to year 2016 – almost 0.9 million tonnes with a value of 32.9 million to $ 0.5 million tons with a cost of 14.4 million dollars. The possible implications of this situation are worsening the economic situation of Ukrainian companies-producers of cement. It is expected that the government’s decision will reduce the dependence of Ukrainian economy on imports and increase domestic production of cement clinkers”, – stated in the message of Ministry of economic development.
