Gender-based violence in Ukraine has been at the top of the most discussed topics in recent years. Why this issue has become so relevant right now, what trends in solving this problem and the main tips for women were described in more detail by Nataliia Popova, a psychologist at Zaporizhzhia Community Centre "Oplich Hub".What do the statistics say?Earlier in Ukraine, there were jumps in the number of complaints from women who suffered from violence. If we look at the statistics, in 2019 there were 142 thousand complaints, and in 2020 – almost 209 thousand, because there was a COVID-19 epidemic that year. The consequences of the pandemic, which can also be called triggers for aggressive actions, led to a sharp increase in violence by 32%.In 2021, the figure fell to 145 thousand, and in 2022 it jumped again, almost 245 thousand claims. And these are only registered cases that we know about from official sources. Such a jump, in my opinion, is caused by permanent stress from hostilities

The State Emergency Service specialists are among the first to arrive at the sites of enemy missile hits, which are quite often in Zaporizhzhia and Zaporizhzhia region. Therefore, Metinvest has been providing rescuers with protective equipment since the beginning of the full-scale war.Recently, Denys Sylantiev, an Olympic medallist in swimming, donated 15 bulletproof vests to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in Zaporizhzhya region.“I am very grateful to each of the rescuers for their hard work. It is difficult physically and psychologically, but extremely important, especially in the realities of war. It's not the first time we've helped both the State Emergency Service and military doctors, and we will continue to do so in the future to ensure the maximum safety of our rescuers,” says Denys SYLANTIEV.The bulletproof vest weighs up to 9 kilograms and has a high protection class 4. They will be used to equip rescuers working in the frontline towns and villages of Zaporizhzhia reg

In 2023, Metinvest's Zaporizhzhia-based businesses - Zaporizhstal, Zaporizhzhia Refractories, ZaporizhCoke and Zaporizhzhia Casting and Mechanical Plant - paid over UAH 2.1 billion in taxes and fees to budgets of all levels. Local budgets received over UAH 818 million.In 2023, single personal income tax and single social contribution were the largest contributors in terms of taxes and fees. The contribution of land tax and environmental tax was also substantial.Underutilised capacity, shortage of skilled staff, blockade of seaports and other challenges are the realities Ukrainian steelmakers faced in 2023. Nevertheless, every second tonne of hot metal, steel and rolled products made in Ukraine last year was produced by Zaporizhstal. "This is our steel-strong support for Ukraine on its path to the victory, so we continue to work to bolster the national economy, support the country's defence capability, provide employment for industry professionals and take care of our staff, finance an

Occupational safety during production tasks is a priority. Kamet-Steel, together with experts from Metinvest Polytechnic, organised two-day training sessions on the top risks of lifting equipment. The participants were line managers of the plant's divisions. After all, they are the main link between the plant's managers, from whom production tasks are received, and the direct executors – the workforce. That is why it is so important for them to have technical knowledge of the safety of work using lifting mechanisms, to be able to correctly assess possible risks before starting such work and, at the same time, to correctly analyse and provide information to the employees performing the work. These are the areas that are covered in the two-day training sessions led by experienced trainers from Metinvest Polytechnic University. During the first, theoretical part, participants gain new knowledge about the regulatory framework for organising lifting operations. Presentation and video mater

Surveying is in great demand in the field of capital construction. The leading specialists of "Svyato-Pokrovska No. 3 Mine," LLC, Valeriy ZABASHTA and Vadym BLYZNIUK, are well aware of this. They are working together on the construction of block 11 for CG Pokrovs'ke.Accuracy, responsibility and close attention to details - this is how the surveyors of the Svyato-Pokrovska No. 3 Mine can be characterised. Working together, Valeriy and Vadym are implementing complex technical projects at the new block. Today, hard work continues there, because several important surface facilities are being built at the production site.“Any construction begins with a surveyor,” says Vadym BLYZNIUK. "We go to an empty field and explore every centimetre of the area. Our work begins by laying out the axes for buildings. The first pegs, which will be followed by bulldozers and excavators, are driven in by surveyors. The next stage is daily control. It is very important that before the facility is put into op

Specialists of PEM-1 shop of CG "Pokrovs'ke" have completed the current repair and assembly of two EL 160 LS dinting machines. The equipment has passed the necessary inspection and is ready to go to the mine.The machines are designed for leveling the soil in mine workings, as well as for loading the loosened rock mass onto a belt or scraper conveyor. This equipment is indispensable during mining operations, as it is used both in coal mining and in drifting.That is why it is important to have a spare reserve in order to use a dinting machine on demand in a particular area of work. In PEM-1 shop, several machines can be repaired at the same time. Some machines come after a major overhaul in the plant, but most machines are repaired using own resources. For this purpose, a team of specialists consisting of three people was involved.These are experienced mechanic-repairmen Igor Baev and Petro Husak, who have devoted many years to the colliery group and began their career at mining sites.

The team of the RZO-2 section of CG "Pokrovs'ke" has completed the assembly of the new SANYI EBZ 260 roadheader. This is the third Chinese giant to replace the outdated equipment.Over the two years of war, Metinvest Pokrovskcoal has completely transformed its production and adapted to work in difficult conditions. Coal mining enterprises are defence enterprises, so it is very important to maintain the country's economy at the proper level.Despite the high risks, the company is implementing investment projects. One of them was the purchase of a new roadheader from the Chinese concern SANYI, which specialises in manufacturing of construction and mining equipment."This is the third Chinese-made roadheader that will be operated in the 3rd longwall of the southern panel of block 10 of CG "Pokrovs'ke" We can already say that this machine has proven itself to be excellent. The roadheader has a relatively small size with a wide cutting range. When used carefully, it is capable of operating tr

The war has taught us to support each other as much as we can. Not only public utilities and emergency services, but also socially responsible businesses come to assistance after regular shelling. Metinvest Pokrovsk Coal is among them.When the enemy shelled civilians in Pokrovsk and Myrnograd on New Year festivities, including employees of Colliery Group "Pokrovske", the company provided them with assistance and did not leave them alone with their misfortune."It was a terrible night, but I am happy to have survived"Smiling and friendly, calm and helpful, always ready to help - these are the qualities of Maryna Shchepenko, a specialist in the capital construction department of Colliery Group "Pokrovske". On New Year's Eve, the woman and her family were preparing for the holiday. However, the insidious enemy destroyed not only the festive mood but also the house where Marina lived with her grandparents, IDPs from Bakhmut."The windows and doors, the cladding, the roof flew out at once.
