Ukraine's Remaining Steelworks Have All but Ground to a Halt

Ukraine's remaining steelworks, which the BBC describes as a vital part of the country's economy, have all but ground to a halt under relentless attacks. The word the report uses — remaining — carries its own history: this is what is left of the industry, not the industry as it stood. An economy's capacity to produce steel is hard to rebuild once the plants stop, which is part of what makes a missile campaign against industrial sites different from one against front-line positions.
