Russian aluminium giant Rusal, which owns the huge facility at Aughinish in the Shannon Estuary, has said that new sanctions on Russian metals introduced by the US and Britain will have no impact on its ability to supply aluminium to world markets.

Washington and London last week prohibited metal-trading exchanges from accepting new aluminium, copper, and nickel produced by Russia and barred the import of the metals into the US and Britain.
