The metallurgical industry is of strategic importance to Russia.

This was the statement of the Russian head of state at an event marking the anniversary of Russia's Metallurgy Day.

President Putin highly appreciated the contribution of the domestic metallurgical workforce and stressed that the metallurgical industry is of strategic importance for the whole of Russia, in order to build industrial potential, implement major infrastructure projects and equip the army.

Mr. Putin said that it is now necessary to carry out a deep modernization of metallurgical production facilities. In recent years, the metallurgical industry in the Russian Federation has become increasingly equipped with high technology, and this opens up new opportunities in many fields from aviation and space travel to electronics and medicine.

The President also noted that it is important for metallurgical enterprises to actively convert to modern technology and equipment to meet the requirements of the "Clean Air" project being implemented by the government . To achieve that, manufacturers will fully perform their obligations in updating technology and minimizing harmful impacts on the environment.

According to observers, European Union (EU) countries cannot lack metals from Russia and sanctions have made it difficult for the EU to buy goods on the world market, which is more expensive and also more difficult in terms of logistics.

Meanwhile, the metallurgical industry in the Russian Federation, under sanctions, successfully coped with large-scale tasks, including the substitution of imported raw materials.

Moreover, Russia has resources of aluminum, copper and nickel, which are indispensable metals in the transition to a green economy and sustainable development.

Their properties make these metals indispensable in the production of next-generation vehicles, energy storage systems, renewable energy sources, infrastructure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and climate change adaptation technologies.

In addition, metallurgical complexes play a key role in the Russian Federation's economy, contributing to the development of related industries, strengthening Russia's defense capabilities and improving the well-being of millions of Russians.

Russian Metallurgy Day was established by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on September 28, 1957 and to this day it is traditionally held on the third Sunday of July.
