Ferrexpo Suspends Ukrainian Operations Again After Renewed Power Disruptions

Ferrexpo has again suspended production at its Ukrainian operations after renewed attacks disrupted electricity supplies.

Ukrainian operations of Ferrexpo have been temporarily suspended after fresh disruptions to electricity supplies caused by renewed attacks on the country’s energy infrastructure.

According to a statement cited by Ukrinform, further damage to power generation and transmission facilities has once again limited electricity availability at the company’s sites. Management has therefore decided to halt production and place part of the workforce on temporary leave until a stable and sufficient power supply can be secured.

The suspension follows an earlier production stoppage announced on 8 November 2025, when Ferrexpo paused operations at the Yeristove and Poltava mining and processing plants in the Poltava region after similar power outages.

The company confirmed that no employees were injured during the attacks and that its production assets were not physically damaged.

Ferrexpo previously reported that iron ore output in 2025 declined by 9% year-on-year to 6.14 million tonnes.
