Arcelor eyes Ukrainian assets
MOSCOW. June 2 (Interfax) - Arcelor is thinking about buying assets in Ukraine if the Ukrainian government grants it
the opportunity, a representative of the European steel giant said at the metallurgical summit in Moscow.
Arcelor would probably buy into Ukrainian assets in partnership with Ukrainian companies, the source said, without
naming the potential partners.
The source did not comment in detail on the privatization of Krivorozhstal, Ukraine's biggest steel mill, but
said the government had at first "left the window slightly open for us, then shut it tight again." [UA EUROPE
