As part of Rinat Akhmetov's Steel Front military initiative, Metinvest has financed the complete technical re-equipment of command post vehicles (CPVs) based on the Kozak armoured vehicle. Equipped with state-of-the-art communication equipment, the vehicles have already been deployed to the most intense sections of the front.Reliable, seamless, robust communications between units during combat that are protected against enemy interference are of paramount importance and directly impact coordination, tactical advantages, and outcomes.Five modern mobile command posts have been delivered to communications specialists from a unit of Ukraine's Land Forces. Metinvest, within the framework of Rinat Akhmetov's Steel Front military initiative, has financed the re-equipment work. This included fitting comfortable workstations for personnel and installing cutting-edge communication equipment, electronic warfare-resistant communication protection systems, autonomous backup power supplies, and oth

Journalists from El Mundo, one of Spain’s largest and most influential newspapers, visited Ukraine’s first underground hospital on the front line, built by Metinvest Group. Javier Espinosa, the publication’s special correspondent in Ukraine’s eastern regions, reported on how this innovative facility was created and why an increasing number of medical institutions across the country are being moved underground.For Lieutenant Colonel Roman KUZIV, the decision to hide the field hospital six metres underground was driven by the numbers: the Russians shelled another medical point in the same area 16 times.As his car descends the ramp leading underground, he said: “We have accepted that Russia constantly ignores the Geneva Convention. The protection that medical facilities once had is now a thing of the past.”A modern medical complex covering 400 square metres has been created for patients there: six capsules made of thick prefabricated metal that meet the highest requirements for such faci

Metinvest B.V., the parent company of an international vertically integrated group of steel and mining companies (jointly referred to as “Metinvest” or the “Group”), is pleased to announce that it has redeemed the remaining principal amount of Senior Notes due 2025 on time and in full.Commenting on the announcement, Yuriy RYZHENKOV, Chief Executive Officer of Metinvest, said:“Since the onset of the full-scale invasion in 2022, Metinvest has now repaid two series of bonds, bringing total repayments under this instrument alone to nearly US$600 million. These repayments have been made despite the material impact of the war on the Group’s business model, including the loss of operational control or suspension of operations at certain assets in Ukraine. In this context, the Group continues to operate in a highly challenging environment.”

Ukraine’s first private mining and metallurgical university, Metinvest Polytechnic, has further strengthened its position as a leader in the field of industrial safety. Lecturers from the Department of Occupational Safety and Environmental Protection have completed specialised training with the participation of experts from the United Kingdom and have been awarded prestigious 'Train the Trainer' certificates by International Institute of Risk & Safety Management (IIRSM) – a global organisation that sets standards in the field of safety and risk management.The training was conducted at Lviv State University of Life Safety – a strategic partner of Metinvest Polytechnic. The programme focused on topics of critical importance to the mining and metallurgical industry: confined space safety and underground utilities management. It is under such conditions that emergencies most frequently occur; therefore, the aim of the training was not only to enhance the lecturers’ qualifications, but als

According to the annual capital investment program, Zaporizhstal of Metinvest Group will carry out repairs of key units of the combined heat and power plant this year. The works will allocate about UAH 75 million of investments for these purposes.

A major overhaul at the mine named after Kolachevsky at Central Iron Ore lasted three weeks in parallel with a scheduled pelletising plant shutdown at the enterprise. During the works, specialists replaced a jaw crusher's frame and conducted a thorough technical inspection of other equipment. Metinvest allocated UAH 18.7 million for the comprehensive repair work. Repair works were planned for equipment across the entire process chain of the mine. Specialists worked on the crushing and hopper complex and inner-mine transport, where they repaired the upper structure of the rail track and a 5-cubic-metre excavator used for loading ore onto the crushing plant. Additionally, they performed repair works to support stable functioning of the mine's belt conveyors, a total of five surface conveyors and a plate feeder. At the lowest level – minus 680 metres – specialists conducted replacement of the belt on an underground belt conveyor."This comprehensive work was subordinated to our main task
