A wave of Russian strikes hit multiple regions across Ukraine, with the country's largest steelmaker among the facilities forced to halt operations.
Strikes reportedly damaged blast furnaces at three facilities, including two Metinvest plants and an ArcelorMittal site in Kryvyi Rih, according to TASS.
Peter Malinauskas says the state has a plan to recapitalise the Whyalla plant in conjunction with federal government to preserve Australia's structural steel-making capacity.
South Australia's Peter Malinauskas expresses optimism about steel production continuing in Whyalla despite a major blast furnace closure, while political figures debate One Nation's hardline immigration stance.
South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas says the state's steel-making capacity is at risk without investment in aging infrastructure.
BBC Business reports plans are underway to bring a struggling steelmaker, referred to as SSUK, under state control after production halts earlier this year.
