Russia is in close contact with metals industry after sanctions, Kremlin says

The Kremlin on Wednesday said the Russian government was in close contact with the metals industry and was discussing different options following U.S. and British sanctions imposed on Russian nickel, copper and aluminium.

In their latest round of Ukraine-related sanctions, Washington and London on Friday prohibited metal-trading exchanges from accepting new aluminium, copper and nickel produced by Russia and barred the import of the metals into the United States and Britain in order to disrupt Russian export revenue.
