Ukrinform correspondents have visited Ukraine’s first underground hospital, built by Metinvest Group near the front line, and reported on the work of military medics, the hospital’s capabilities and plans to create new facilities.Ukraine is the first country in the world to deploy an advanced surgical unit underground, and it has already saved numerous soldiers’ lives. Doctors refer to this 500-square-metre underground medical hospital as the “underground” (a nod to the English word meaning clandestine or something that contradicts the established codes of society). Everything here is truly not what everyone is used to. The hospital is six metres beneath the ground, fully autonomous and as concealed as possible for security reasons.Roman Kuziv, commander of the “East” medical forces group of Ukraine’s armed forces, initiated its creation. Ukrinform correspondents spoke to him en route to this unique medical facility. For security reasons, nothing is disclosed that could reveal its loc

Chornobyl is a tragedy on pause. Thirty-nine years ago, nearly 240,000 people heroically stopped it at its inception. In all, more than 600,000 people took part in the cleanup operations after the disaster. In 2019, Metinvest’s steel helped shield the world from hazardous radiation. However, the Safe Confinement was later damaged by a Russian drone during the full-scale war. Read on to explore the history of the Confinement, the consequences of the strike, and the current situation around reactor #4. No one was prepared for the events of 1986. That’s why building the first sarcophagus over the fourth power unit of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant in a record 206 days seems nothing short of a miracle. The structure was designed to last 20-40 years. By the mid-1990s, it became clear that the protective structure was slowly deteriorating under the impact of radiation. A new solution had to be found. In 2004, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development launched a tender for the

Vitaliy and Tetiana Didok have been a couple for approximately six years, having met by chance in a café and remained inseparable ever since. Furthermore, it was through her husband’s encouragement and support that Tetiana became a member of the Zaporizhstal team.At the time they met, Vitaliy was already employed as a member of the company’s team. He has been employed at the plant since 2004, having joined immediately after completing his studies at Sevastopol National University of Nuclear Energy and Industry, beginning his career as a dosimetrist and steadily advancing through the professional ranks."The plant subsequently became my first and only place of employment. I acquired extensive knowledge, and thanks to the guidance of senior colleagues and my own perseverance, I was able to develop into a skilled specialist and ultimately attain a managerial role as head of the rolling shops group," says Vitaliy.Approximately two years ago, a vacancy became available within their business

Каметсталь спільно з Дніпропетровською обласною станцією переливання крові провели перший виїзний донорський день. Металурги зібрали понад 4 000 мл крові, яка допоможе зберегти життя захисників на передовій.Досвідчені донори і новачки – співробітники підприємства щиро відгукнулися на пропозицію здати кров безпосередньо на території комбінату. Адже повномасштабна війна вже три роки поспіль ставить перед нами особливі виклики, найперший серед яких – щоденний порятунок поранених воїнів, більшість з яких зазнали значної крововтрати, і постраждалих від ворожих обстрілів цивільних українців, у тому числі дітей. Пацієнтам у лікарнях також потрібна допомога, особливо під час невідкладних хірургічних втручань. У всіх цих випадках порятунок один – донорська кров. Тільки кров, а не окремі її компоненти, може врятувати людину при крововтраті.– З початку війни потреби у донорській крові значно зросли. Кров, яку здають наші земляки, ми відправляємо у шпиталі, зокрема на Донецький напрямок. Щодня до
