The end of the week is a great time to work and talk about the work)). The work of Metinvest 's enterprises, the battle on the economic and humanitarian fronts.
As always, such a story is verbose, but it is worth it. Read, know and tell others, share so that everyone knows that
We are not stopping and we keep working where possible. We continue production, because this is the life of the country. It is the Ukraine's ability to have the strength to fight, to defend itself.
Yes, some production sites have been shutdown. This was done for the safety of workers. For the safety of production, which we will restore in the future. Soon.
Therefore, – about Mariupol
A couple of days ago, a video about the shelling of Azovstal has spread in social media, the "PR" began on the fact that there is no a plant any longer.
Yeah. A great topic for PR. I can't figure out what the goal was? Imaginary popularity? Or coverage and the number of views? Not the right time, IMHO...
So, FOR EVERYONE – a direct speech by Enver Tskitishvili, General Director of Azovstal about the shelling and the situation at the plant.
“It's too early to bury the plant. Moreover, we will rebuild and restore everything. We have the skills, we have had the experience. In 2014-15, when Avdiivka Coke was subjected to shelling, and we stopped and re-launched the plant dozens of times. And in the Second World War - almost 80 years ago, Azovstal had to recover and became even better.”
