In addition to France, four other EU countries have maximized their imports of Russian titanium in recent years. Estonia purchased titanium for 4.9 million euros — the best result since 2017. Austria and Romania reached their maximums since 2022: 3.3 million and 1.2 million euros, respectively. Poland updated its record since 2023, importing titanium for 130.7 thousand euros.
