As part of Rinat Akhmetov's Steel Front military initiative, Metinvest handed over a complex batch of electronic warfare equipment worth UAH 29 mln to a brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine. The supply covers several levels of protection against enemy drones at once and has become one of the largest targeted contributions of the project in the area of electronic warfare in recent months. The handed-over equipment allows the unit to cover key areas – from forward positions to rear fortifications – and jam the control signals of enemy drones at different frequencies. This allows protecting both personnel and equipment from attacks.

From scientific research to practice at the forefront of European metallurgy. Metinvest Polytechnic postgraduate student Igor Navolnev visited a steel plant in Luxembourg, where modern solutions are being implemented: from decarbonization to full robotization without stopping production. This visit to SARRALLE company became an important part of his scientific work and gave not only new knowledge, but also an understanding of how such approaches can be implemented at Ukrainian enterprises.– Igor, tell us about your professional path and how you became a part of Metinvest Polytechnic.– I have been working at Metinvest Group for more than 18 years and all this time my activities have been related to production.

At the crushing plant of Metinvest Central Iron Ore, one of the key conveyors of the dry magnetic separation casing – CX-3 – was updated. Specialists carried out a major overhaul of the horizontal part of the conveyor at the point of movement of the discharge car. The work carried out will minimize emergency stops and downtime of process equipment, as well as ensure the fulfilment of production indicators and quality indicators.Repair work was carried out by the specialists of the Central Iron Ore in several stages due to the impossibility of a complete stop of the equipment. "The repair work itself could have been carried out in 30 days, but it is impossible to stop the conveyor at such a time. Therefore, the peculiarity of the repair was that it was possible to perform a considerable amount of it only during the period of scheduled preventive repairs or during short stops. After all, product quality indicators directly depend on the dry magnetic separation building, and the CX-3 con

Heroes live as long as the memory of them lives, so let us honour Ukraine's defenders who gave their lives for our freedom.In peacetime, thirty-year-old Hlib Hovorukhin from Zaporizhzhia had a strong family – a loving wife and six-month-old daughter, and a caring grandmother who raised him. He had a good job at Zaporizhstal and colleagues who became friends – sharing common interests and plans. His happy and peaceful life was shattered by the full-scale war: Hlib volunteered to the front in August 2022."He believed that if he was there, on the front lines, the war would end sooner. Unfortunately, he is gone, but the war continues," recalls Hlib's fateful decision his wife, Olesia Hovorukhina. "He was very strong-willed, so once a decision was made, that was it. He always trusted his intuition and listened to it in everything."They were together for 13 years: through tears, the woman's face lights up with a bright smile as she recalls their memories."We met on the dance project 'Maidan

Gender doesn't matter when it comes to professionalism. The example of Raisa Dyachenko, acting foreman of the Central Iron Ore Sludge Facility Shop Site , destroys stereotypes about the difference between purely "female" and "male" professions. The former kindergarten teacher has been successfully coping with the giant pumping equipment that pumps enrichment tailings to the sludge storage facility for more than 20 years. And after the foreman of her site left to defend the country, she took on his duties.According to the State Employment Service, Ukrainian employers faced a number of challenges during the full-scale invasion. The most acute of them is the shortage of personnel. The shortage of specialists has become especially noticeable in the construction, agricultural and industrial sectors. Vacancies often remain open in those areas where men have traditionally worked. However, now the situation is changing. More and more women are mastering "male" professions. At Metinvest, this
