Ukraine's manganese could power Europe's battery future

Ukraine holds some of the world's largest manganese reserves, a mineral critical for batteries, while the European Union currently imports 100% of its battery-grade supply. The war has stalled production, but commentators argue that postwar reconstruction could unlock these deposits and secure Europe's supply chain for electric vehicles and energy storage.
Why now: Ongoing EU debates over securing critical raw materials and Ukraine's postwar reconstruction have put Ukrainian minerals in focus.
