As part of Rinat Akhmetov’s “Steel Front” military initiative, Metinvest has delivered 13 all-terrain vehicles to units defending Ukraine’s sovereignty on Zaporizhzhia front.Targeted support for the Ukrainian Armed Forces across all front-line sectors is a core principle of Rinat Akhmetov’s “Steel Front” military initiative. Each tranche of aid provided by the Company responds to a specific request from the Armed Forces: to protect each serviceman, enhance mobility, and provide essential supplies at the crucial moment. Steel shelters, protection for combat vehicles and air defence systems, specialised equipment, backup power sources, and vehicles are among the many items that Metinvest consistently supplies to the front line to enable defenders to operate effectively in the most intense sectors of the battlefield.In late May, the Company delivered 13 new four-wheel-drive pickup trucks to combat brigades defending the country on Zaporizhzhia front. The vehicles were selected with due r

A sudden worsening of health or injury may occur at any time, so the ability to provide first aid quickly and correctly remains a crucial skill. In wartime, the importance of such training has only increased, as the risk of emergencies is significantly higher.That is why Zaporizhstal has first aid brigades consisting of employees who have completed special training and possess basic emergency response skills. The composition of the brigades is constantly being updated: new members undergo intensive training, while employees who are already part of the brigades regularly take part in refresher courses and practical drills. Another two-day intensive training course for employees who joined the first aid brigades took place at the end of May. This time, 16 employees from Metinvest enterprises in Zaporizhzhia completed the training, including 12 employees from Zaporizhstal.The programme was highly practical. Participants practised first aid procedures for severe traumatic injuries, includ

The very name of the Production Preparation Department at Zaporizhstal speaks to the importance of this subdivision for the enterprise. It is responsible for supplying shops with materials, manufacturing wooden pallets and timber, and maintaining warehouse operations and the base coal storage facility. Behind every area of work are people who know their jobs well and keep Zaporizhstal's production running smoothly every day.Today, even amid staff shortages, the energy crisis, and other challenges brought about by the war, the team continues to demonstrate high efficiency and ensure the stable operation of the enterprise.The winter of 2025–2026 proved especially challenging for employees at the base coal storage facility. Prolonged frost complicated equipment operation and production processes; however, the team prevented disruptions to coal unloading and ensured the timely shipment of pulverised coal injection (PCI) blend for the blast furnace shop. In October 2025, the department als

In Zaporizhzhia, the memory of the fallen Defenders of Ukraine was honoured. Eighty-five new bells have appeared on the "Tree of Memory" memorial in Zaporizhzhia as a symbol of honour and remembrance for the fallen Defenders of Ukraine. The bells bear 85 names — 85 lives given for the freedom of Ukraine.It is worth noting that the "Tree of Memory" memorial was opened in Metallurgists Park in October 2024 as part of the international contemporary art festival GOGOLFEST POKROVA, with the support of Metinvest Group. Instead of conventional leaves, the steel "branches" of the tree feature tubular bells. They create a bell-ringing melody and symbolise the echo of the fallen Heroes' voices. The tree itself is a symbol of the struggle and resilience of Ukrainians in their desire for freedom.Traditionally, families of the fallen Heroes, whose names will now appear on the "Tree of Memory", are invited to the event.The ceremony was attended by Head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administrat

Чи любили козаки зброю? Безумовно! Практично обожнювали: прикрашали, дбали та хизувались нею. Шаблі віддавали особливу шану: величали «ясною», «сестрицею», «жіночкою». Однак, своїх шабель майже не робили. А різномаїті каравели, бесарабки, ординівки та угорки переважно відбирали у ворогів, котрі приходили на українську землю.Більше цікавого про зброю легендарних воїнів та їхні винаходи, якими ми користуємося й досі, читайте у тематичному матеріалі від Метінвесту.Зброя народної воліТак, звісно, були козаки заможні: досвідчені бійці чи й молоді шляхтичі в пошуках слави. Вони могли дозволити собі пістоля, коня, збрую та шаблю. Решта на початку повстанського шляху мали лише ножі, ратища, списи та рогатини. Вирушаючи на захист рідної землі, мирні громади виявляли неабияку кмітливість. Ковалі швидко перетворювали господарські коси на бойові, трансформували серпи у довгі тактичні гаки для витягання вершників із сідел. А з молотків дбайливо виформовували гострі клевці та чекани.Протягом повном

Metinvest Polytechnic hosted the MiP Quiz: Battle of Minds, an intellectual quiz that brought together university lecturers in a friendly team-based competition.The event became another example of how the university community thrives not only on academic programmes, projects and research, but also on shared initiatives that help people get to know one another better, build trust and create a genuine team spirit. The idea for the quiz came from university alumni and employees of Metinvest enterprises – Kateryna Avlasionok, Oleksandr Smyrnov and Denys Kononiuk. They developed the concept of the game and took responsibility for its organisation. It is symbolic that the organisers were graduates of Metinvest Polytechnic who, even after completing their studies, remain an active part of the university community and strive to develop the environment that once became an important stage in their professional growth. Two teams of lecturers took part in the quiz. They faced questions from variou

Metinvest is expanding career opportunities for young people by launching programmes aimed at encouraging young Ukrainians abroad to return home. The Group is ready to train and employ future specialists who will contribute to the country’s reconstruction. This was announced by Oleksandr Vodoviz, Head of the CEO’s Office at Metinvest Group, during the national talk show At Home Is Better (Vdoma Krashche). The show brought together nearly 500 participants to discuss youth development in Ukraine and opportunities for self-realisation at home.During the discussion, Vodoviz emphasised the crucial role that industry will play in rebuilding the country. According to him, one job at a manufacturing plant creates eight more in related sectors, while industry itself forms the backbone of GDP and will serve as a key driver of post-war reconstruction.“In Ukraine, it is possible to build a career faster and more easily than in most European countries. After the war ends, these opportunities will
