▪️ -116 thousand jobs,
▪️ -4.7 billion dollars. export,
▪️ -2.7 billion dollars. investments until 2030.
“We have to achieve force majeure conditions for Ukrainian exporters. CBAM is a tax of 150 euros per ton, which will go to the EU budget, not Ukraine. The extractive industry is the basis of our industrial security,” emphasizes Ksenia Orynchak, executive director of NADPU.
She urges the new government to focus on negotiations with the EU and use the new US Critical Minerals Agreement as an argument for delay.
