Since the beginning of a full -scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Metinvest has directed more than UAH 9.28 billion to Ukraine. More than half of this amount - 4.9 billion hryvnias - was allocated for the needs of the army as part of a military initiative steel front, founded by Rinat Akhmetov.
Before the 19th anniversary of the company, which she noted in June 2025, Metinvest CEO, Yuri Ryzhenkov, stressed that the war became the greatest challenge for the company. Due to the occupation of part of the territories, the company has lost control of assets, but has not lost its faith in Ukraine and continues to work: provides jobs, pays taxes, supports the Armed Forces of Ukraine and civilians.
Metinvest is also involved in the construction of defense lines in Donetsk and Zaporozhye, where more than 200 kilometers of fortifications have already been erected. One of the priorities of the company is the support of veterans. It provides defenders free retraining, preferential conditions for entering the Metinvest Polytechnic, as well as physical and psychological rehabilitation. It is planned to spend $ 550,000 for adaptation of veterans in 2025.

About 4.2 thousand tons of products, hygiene products and essential products were delivered to the country, and hospitals received medicines and equipment in the amount of more than UAH 9.5 million.
The company also supports the physical and psychological recovery of military and civilians. Thanks to the prosthetics and rehabilitation program, about 140 defenders and civilians received assistance, and nearly 2,700 women and children were able to improve their mental health.
Despite the loss of control over assets in Mariupol and Avdiivka and the temporary cessation of the Pokrovsky Coal Group, Metinvest remains the largest exporter of Ukraine. In 2024, the company released 20 new products.
