Адже за літо прожили ціле маленьке життя.Про майбутню професію почала замислюватися десь у 8-9 класі. Чомусь тоді здавалося, що буду бухгалтером.

Він уже підготувався до занять і отримав шкіл

Dear friends,Today, first and foremost, I would like to say thank you.The work of a miner has never been easy. But for thirteen years now, you have been working under the conditions of war, living with constant concern for your loved ones and facing new risks and challenges.The enemy is doing everything possible to leave our homes without light and heat. Therefore, every mine that remains in operation and every tonne of coal extracted is a contribution not only to the economy, but also to Ukraine’s energy resilience. It is what brings light and warmth to Ukrainians’ homes.I know for certain that behind your work stand not only professionalism and experience. Behind it lies strength of character. The true character of a miner is not measured by words. This is what you prove every day through your actions. It is responsibility for one’s work and for the people alongside you. The willingness to keep working despite all the challenges, for the sake of your families and your country. I tha

The country’s largest private investor, SCM, owned by Rinat Akhmetov, is launching a global communications initiative calling on international businesses to invest in Ukraine today, without waiting for the war to end.

In the first half of 2026, Metinvest's enterprises in Zaporizhzhia, namely Zaporizhstal, Zaporizhcoke, Zaporizhzhia Refractories and Metinvest Machinery, paid almost UAH 1.6 billion in taxes and levies to budgets at all levels. The single social tax, personal income tax, environmental tax, and military levy traditionally account for the largest shares of these payments. Thus, a large portion of taxes paid by enterprises is directly related to employment and the preservation of jobs in the region."Zaporizhstal is in extremely challenging conditions: hostile attacks led to a long-term shutdown of the enterprise. Recovery will not be easy or quick; however, we have an even greater challenge before us: the blockade of the ports of Greater Odesa, which is not simply affecting logistics and exports. This crisis also confronts us with an undeniable fact: without the ability to produce and sell our products, Ukrainian metallurgy in particular, and domestic export-oriented manufacturers in gen
