# Missile Strikes Shutter Major Steel Complex in Ukraine as U.S. Aid Stalls

> Russian missile and drone strikes have shut down the Kamet Steel complex in Kamianske, Ukraine, which the article says accounts for about 25% of national steel output. Farmers are struggling to find safe routes for grain, which is piling up in fields and silos while export routes are attacked. Ukraine's central bank now forecasts a 0.4% economic contraction in 2026.

## Why it matters

Disrupted Ukrainian grain logistics and export routes keep stocks stranded and tighten the flow of Black Sea wheat and corn to world buyers, which is supportive for feed grain prices. Weaker Ukrainian industry and a cash crunch add uncertainty but do not change the core supply picture on their own.
