And the scarce product is also systematically sent to the communities of Avdeevka, so that critical infrastructure services take care of the citizens.
“Our defenders are pushing hard to cleanse Ukraine of its enemies. And we have made sure that the AFU has vehicles and full tanks of fuel. This war is built on mobility and the ability to stay ahead of the enemy. That’s why we also provide the military with technological drones and thermal imagers. And while the defenders defend our country’s independence on the front lines, Metinvest Group is their reliable support in bringing Ukraine’s victory closer,” said Metinvest CEO Yury Ryenkov, quoted by the press service.
“Metinvest is a vertically integrated group of mining and metallurgical enterprises. Its enterprises are located in Ukraine – in Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Dnipropetrovsk regions and in European countries.
