Despite turbulence in international markets and extremely challenging operating conditions amid shelling and power outages, we remain a pillar of the country. Thanks to the expertise and professionalism of our specialists, we have rapidly adapted to operating in the new environment – meeting all set tasks and investing in future strategic projects.
