Russia is usually a major supplier, but according to Bloomberg, buyers are reluctant to sign agreements with Russia after the war of aggression against Ukraine. There is talk of a kind of voluntary sanctions from metal buyers in the West, even if the trade or the metal companies are not covered by sanctions, the buyers do not want to trade with the Russians.
Now it is feared that the non-existent trade with Russian companies will mean disruptions in the markets in the West, and also give rise to schisms between those who want to continue trading with Russia and those who do not.
