As part of Rinat Akhmetov's Steel Front military initiative, Metinvest Group is implementing a major project to help demine Ukraine. The company launched serial production of mine trawls and helped to open training centres for deminers.The full-scale war is still ongoing, and Ukraine is already the most mined country in the world. Thousands of square kilometres of the de-occupied territory are currently contaminated with explosive devices such as mines, unexploded bombs and artillery shells. And much more on the front line. Therefore, demining of Ukraine is one of the most urgent challenges facing the state: both after the victory and now. Metinvest stepped in to help solve this urgent problem.Steel assistants for tanksLast year, Metinvest began developing a project for mine trawls, and later produced the first experimental samples from its own steel. At the request of the Ukrainian military, the company's specialists improved the design of the KMT-7 by making its equivalent. The prin

As the full-scale war in Ukraine rages on, all the efforts of the government, business and citizens are aimed at supporting the defenders on the front line. At the same time, those returning from the front line, coming back to work and transitioning to civilian life also require assistance. Forbes Ukraine has collected stories of war veterans – employees of Ukrainian companies – who shared their experience, what determines the success of adaptation and what employers can do to help.Among the published stories is that of Mykola Tkachenko. Before the full-scale war, the main worked as a control room operator in the hot rolling shop of Metinvest Group's Zaporizhstal iron and steel works. At the beginning of the invasion, he volunteered to fight and served in the 110th Separate Mechanised Brigade as a grenade launcher.

In industrial Kryvyi Rih, most residents are, in one way or another, connected with mining and metallurgical enterprises. Tens of thousands of them work as families at Metinvest plants. They quite often meet each other at work. Like the beautiful couple from the Northern GOK, Anastasia Motieva and Yaroslav Dziaduk. Анастасія та Ярослав In 2016, with a new diploma from the Faculty of “Railway Transportation Process Management,” Nastia came to production for the first time. She began her internship at the Northern railway station which has the same name as the GOK. The work of a station duty operator is extremely responsible and requires a person to have logical thinking, vigilance and self-control. Immediately after the university classroom, it was difficult for the girl to manage many processes at the same time, and mentors helped her gain experience. But among her colleagues who worked at the railway there was one impudent assistant of traction unit operator, Yaroslav, who could some

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

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.

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
