British firms have bought thousands of tonnes of Russian steel since Vladimir Putin ’s forces invaded Ukraine, the Mirror can reveal.
Figures show 3,700 tonnes of Russian “strip mill” have been imported by the UK since the start of the war on February 24.
The Government introduced tough tariffs on Russian products on March 25, hitting them with “an additional tariff increase of 35 percentage points, over and above any existing tariff rate under the terms of the move”.
