Evraz Group said Monday that it would resume crude steel production at its unit in the Czech Republic after a four-month stoppage because of a dispute over raw materials prices with ArcelorMittal.
ArcelorMittal Ostrava agreed to supply liquid pig iron to Evraz Vitkovice Steel at an “acceptable” price, Evraz said in a statement. The Evraz unit halted crude steel output from July 1 and made steel products from slabs supplied from outside of the Czech Republic, including Russia.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
