In January–November 2025, Ukrainian steelmakers increased imports of coke and semi-coke by 3.2% year on year to 642.8 thousand tonnes. Almost the entire volume was supplied by Poland, accounting for 94%, GMK Center reported, citing its own calculations based on data from the State Customs Service.
Last year, Ukraine imported 602.01 thousand tonnes of coke from Poland. In addition, 27.67 thousand tonnes were imported from Indonesia and 13.06 thousand tonnes from the Czech Republic over the same period.
GMK Center notes that between 2013 and 2024, Ukraine’s coking coal output declined by 74%, while coke production fell by almost 85%. This was largely due to the fact that a significant share of mines and coke plants—64% of the total—ended up in territories outside government control.
According to analysts’ estimates, to maintain current production levels—up to 6.5 million tonnes of steel produced via basic oxygen and open-hearth processes and 1.3 million tonnes of merchant pig iron—Ukraine needs about 3.2 million tonnes of coke per year.
