Abstract
Structural changes in the production of metallurgical products in Ukraine are studied. The importance of this sector in the Ukrainian industry and the high level of competitiveness in the world market are noted. The article determines that the key metallurgical industries are concentrated in three oblasts: Dnipropetrovska, Donetska, and Zaporizka, which account for about 80% of metallurgical output and about 90% of metallurgical exports in Ukraine. At the same time, metallurgy became the main industrial sector of the indicated regions: in Donetska oblast, the share of metallurgy in the region’s industry is 53.20%, in Zaporizka - 39.50%, in Dnipropetrovska - 34.20% (in 2021). Taking into account the fact that active military operations on the territory of Ukraine during 2022 had a significant impact on business conditions, the article examines the impact of the war on the activities of the largest metallurgical enterprises. In particular, physical destruction of fixed assets, logistics, shortage of energy supply, etc. The share of the largest metallurgical enterprises in the metallurgical industry until 2022 is determined, and changes in the production activity of enterprises after a full-scale military invasion of the territory of Ukraine are indicated. The article notes that in 2022, about 30% losses in production can be predicted for the metallurgical enterprises of Dnipropetrovska oblast, about 50% - in Zaporizka oblast, and almost all metallurgical enterprises of Donetska oblast have suspended their work. Practical examples of preserving the functional capacity of the enterprise due to effective decision-making are given. In particular, some enterprises are moving their production facilities to a safer area (in particular, to the west of the country); the most destroyed industries are filing lawsuits in international courts for compensation of damages at the expense of the aggressor (Russia); some enterprises are changing the sales market to optimize the costs of logistics and other things. Variants of solutions to the specified problems are offered to restore the work of metallurgical enterprises and strengthen their competitiveness in the domestic and foreign markets.
