South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor plans to temporarily suspend production of certain electric vehicle (EV) models at its major plant in Ulsan. The decision comes in response to declining global demand for EVs and mounting trade barriers, including new tariffs imposed by the United States.

In the current economic climate, sanctions have become a significant factor affecting the operations of international companies. Recently, it was announced that KazRosGaz, a joint venture involving Russia's Gazprom and Kazakhstan's KazMunayGas, has suspended its production and supply of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) due to European Union sanctions on the import of Russian propane and butane.
