A presentation of the informational platform for the cultural and artistic project “Place of Resistance: Infrastructure Projects of Azovstal” was held in Kyiv. Among the initiative’s partners is Metinvest Group.The cultural and artistic project is being implemented by the Central State Scientific and Technical Archive of Ukraine (CSSTA) under the auspices of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation. Its aim is to create a multimedia exhibition dedicated to unique documents and materials from the collections of the CSSTA and partner organisations, which reflect the history of certain infrastructure facilities of Azovstal.With the onset of the full-scale war, the plant ceased to be merely an industrial symbol.

It was at Azovstal that, for 86 days, the defenders of Mariupol held a heroic defence despite complete encirclement and the enemy’s superiority. Their courage became a symbol of the resilienc

At Metinvest Polytechnic Technical University, Teacher’s Day is celebrated not only with words of gratitude but also through stories about engineers in the making. The lecturers help students design, model, and implement solutions in practice – from initial technical calculations to interactive 3D layouts of mining enterprises and digital models of production processes. These are stories about those who are shaping the professional and innovative future of Ukrainian engineering. Today, engineering studies extend well past abstract theories. Authentic education encompasses practical application, active communication, tackling issues, and understanding one's personal input into outcomes. Metinvest Polytechnic's lecturers do more than just deliver facts; they assist students in fostering critical thought, putting principles into action, and appreciating how valuable their proficiency is within genuine industrial operations and the advancement of Ukraine's economy.

The fourth academic year has begun at Metinvest Polytechnic, Ukraine’s first private mining and metals university. This year, more than 150 future bachelor’s and master’s students enrolled, along with, for the first time, 94 students of the professional junior bachelor’s programme. Among the new entrants are 26 war veterans, including Metinvest employees and participants in the defence of Mariupol.The university now has over 600 students, 52 of whom are veterans.

Ukrainian sappers are clearing their homeland of enemy explosives, thereby literally and figuratively advancing toward Victory. Demining remains one of the most critical problems for Ukraine. The indiscriminate and extensive mine-laying by russian troops continually endangers soldiers and ordinary citizens alike. Experts estimate that the complete removal of mines from Ukraine could require anywhere from several decades to hundreds of years.Oleh Panibratenko, who commands a sapper squad, remarked, "There is ample work for both us and numerous coming generations." He added, "Presently, while engaged in mine clearance in reclaimed territories, we are still uncovering ordnance from the Second World War. And that doesn't even account for the present hostilities, which have left behind a massive volume of explosive fragments." Oleh Panibratenko and his fellow soldiers have been involved in demining the liberated sectors of the Kherson region since 2023. His roots are in Zaporizhzhia.Prior

Генеральний директор Метінвесту Юрій Риженков у відвертому інтерв’ю британській The Times розповів про втрати та виклики під час війни, підтримку армії, плани відбудови бізнесу та країни, а також поділився особистими переживаннями й філософією виживання в кризові часи.Попри руйнівний вплив війни на Метінвест і його працівників, очільник сталеливарного гіганта Юрій Риженков із надією дивиться в майбутнє.Кілька тижнів тому о шостій ранку його розбудив звук ракет, що пролітали над його квартирою в Києві. «До цього звикаєш», – знизує плечима генеральний директор Метінвесту, гірничо-металургійно групи, яку війна Путіна поставила на межу виживання.«Чуєш, як над тобою летить ракета. Але потім розумієш, як сказав мені один військовий: якщо ти її чуєш, значить, це не твоя ракета – можна не хвилюватися».Часто разом із ракетами лунають сирени, що закликають людей йти до укриттів, які нерідко зроблені зі сталі Метінвесту. Риженков зізнається, що ігнорує ці сигнали: найближче укриття – за десять х
