As part of Rinat Akhmetov's Steel Front initiative Metinvest Group helps the National Guard in Zaporizhia battle the invasion.
As the full-scale war broke out in Ukraine, Metinvest Group has launched a humanitarian effort, covering several areas at once: support for the medical system, rehabilitation of IDPs, and provision of foods. Moreover, as part of Rinat Akhmetov's Steel Front military initiative, the Company provides regular comprehensive support to the army, supplying body armour, drones, thermal imagers, vehicles, special equipment, etc.
The focus is on providing protective gear for Ukrainian soldiers. In particular, Metinvest provides bulletproof vests and helmets to its employees conscripted to the Armed Forces of Ukraine as well as to other combatants defending Ukraine. The company continues to supply body armour to the army.
Metinvest has been helping Ukrainian defenders since the first days of the war. The other day the company sent one more convoy with 3,000 bulletproof vests to the National Guard in Zaporizhia. This body armour will protect our soldiers fighting in Zaporizhia area.
“Good body armour improves the soldier's overall readiness and performance levels, allowing them to focus on their mission. This body armour will be used by the newly formed units, which will be soon fighting to push Putin's Armed Forces back to the 1991 borders,” stated the Commander of Zaporizhia-based unit of the National Guard of Ukraine Andriy Beliayev.
Metinvest believes that by saving a life of one soldier we are saving hundreds or even thousands of Ukrainian civilians. It's a great honour to support the army.
“We will continue to help the Ukrainian military. We will keep working to ensure that all other units of the National Guard, the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces of Ukraine can receive assistance provided by Metinvest as part of Rinat Akhmetov's Steel Front military initiative,” noted Operations Director of Metinvest Group Oleksandr Myronenko.
