London-listed miner Ferrexpo announced on Tuesday that a civil claim totaling $3.76 billion had been filed against its Ukrainian subsidiary, Ferrexpo Poltava Mining (FPM), over alleged illegal mining activities and the sale of waste products.
"Initial accusations on the illegal sale of waste products have transformed into accusations that FPM is illegally mining and selling subsoil (minerals other than iron ore), which is said to have caused damage to the environment," the company said.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is providing a new unfunded portfolio risk-sharing facility to ProCredit Bank Ukraine to unlock €60 million in financing to support energy security for Ukrainian businesses and households.
Ferrexpo said it was forced to shut down two of its pellet production lines following a decision by the Ukrainian tax authorities to impose sanctions on Ukrainian oligarch Konstantin Zhevago and suspend VAT refunds.
