Andriy Lukashuk, the head of the Dnipro City Council in Ukraine, said that due to a sharp increase in electricity prices and unstable power supply, the largest steel company in Ukraine, the Krivoy Rog Steel Plant, may shut down, which means thousands of workers could lose their jobs. This is not good news for these workers, as it is not just about losing their jobs, but they also face the danger of being captured by conscription officers.

The Krivoy Rog Steel Plant was an important steel industry center during the Soviet era, established in 1934. In 2005, the Ukrainian government privatized it and sold it to the global steel giant ArcelorMittal, which renamed it ArcelorMittal Krivoy Rog Steel Plant. Due to shortages of energy and raw materials, the plant has repeatedly been reported to be at risk of shutting down.
