In December, Madrid stopped regular purchases of Russian iron and steel. In April, the process resumed - 21.3 thousand tons of the mentioned metals were exported to Spain. The total value of the goods is 8 million euros, RIA "Novosti" reports.
The country also increased supplies of aluminum and titanium from Russia. Imports of the former increased to €13 million, and the latter - to €1.5 million. The indicators increased by 1.5 and 1.9 times compared to the previous results.
