...mill could just be the first reprivatization. Potentially, some of the largest and most profitable companies in Ukraine could be up for grabs, including two big aluminum plants, and a major mining firm worth as much as $1.5 billion that was sold for just $100 million, also to a consortium linked to Pinchuk. Rotterdam-based Mittal Steel, for one, is excited about the prospect. Its joint bid last year with U.S. Steel for Kryvorizhstal included $1.5 billion for a 93% stake in the plant, plus promised investment of $1.2 billion to raise production and improve quality.
