July<\/strong> 15, <\/strong>Pozirk<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong>The \u017d\u0142obin-based Belarusian Steel Works (BMZ) sells 75 percent of its products abroad with Russia accounting for up to 80 percent of its exports, Siarhiej Ciarleckij, a deputy CEO, said at a news conference in Minsk on July 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest is sold in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and some countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first half of the year, the BMZ produced more than 700,000 tons of steel products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the current situation . . . this is the level that ensures that our plant and the country remain afloat, by fulfilling orders that are in demand and have higher profit margins. Because if we increased this volume as much as we could, we would be simply increasing our losses,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BMZ, manufacturing billet, steel bars, steel wire rod, seamless pipes, steel cord and steel fiber, is under international sanctions for supplying Russia with products used in its war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exiled intelligence group BelPol claims that BMZ is involved in the mass production of ammunition for the Russian army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 2022, Russia started a full-scale war against Ukraine in which the Belarusian authorities supported the Kremlin, allowing Russian troops to attack Ukraine from Belarus on multiple occasions and supplying arms to Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
