title: Ukraine's TiO2 industry buckles under pressure
abstract: According to industry sources, some Ukrainian pigment producers may halt operations within months. Crimea Titan PJSC, Ukraine's largest TiO[subscript]2 manufacturer, has found itself trapped by the fallout from the ongoing conflict following Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula in March last year. Due to the sanctions imposed by the European Union (EU) and US against Russian companies, Crimea Titan has found it practically impossible to conclude deals or receive payments.
