Ukrainian pipe producers switch to Russian supplies

A number of Ukrainian pipe producers started to buy material for pipe production from Russia. The main reason for this redirection of supplies ways is that Russian raw and semi finished materials are of higher quality than those of the domestic producers. Leonid Ksavenchuk, the General Director of the Pipe Producer Association (Ukrtruboprim) said that now more than 50 percent of the supplies come from Russian producers of raw material and semi finished products.
