Russo-Ukrainian war, day 1673: Ukraine’s two steel plants, which produce 70% of country’s steel, are buckling under Russian strikes
Meanwhile, Ukraine's Vivaldi operation near Lyman succeeded not through robotics but through precise reconnaissance.
On day 1673 of the Russo-Ukrainian war, two steel plants in Ukraine that produce 70% of the country's steel are struggling under Russian attacks. The war has also caused closures at Ukraine's ports and increased rail costs by 30%. The EU has imposed a carbon tax, adding to the challenges facing Ukraine. The head of the country's largest steel plant emphasized the need for a single rescue document with deadlines and assigned agencies to address the various problems that arise independently.
Ukraine's Vivaldi counteroffensive near Lyman received assistance from partisans, who reportedly cut rail supplies to three Russian regiments without causing an explosion.
