Since the full -scale invasion of Russia into the territory of Ukraine, the Metinvest group has become one of the largest donors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine among private companies. During the three years of the war, the company has sent to the aid of Ukraine and its citizens over UAH 8.4 billion. From this amount, UAH 4.4 billion was directed to the needs of the army through the initiative of the steel front Rinat Akhmetov.
Metinvest actively supports the Armed Forces, providing not only financial assistance, but also important technical development. Among the most significant projects are mobile shelters, which serve as protection against hostile fire and field dwellings for fighters. On this basis, the first underground hospital was created in Ukraine, which has already saved the lives of more than 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers. The company also expanded the production of military products, including metal screens for equipment, shields for Patriot CRC crews, retinated trala, as well as bulletproof vests and mobile vehicles. Metinvest actively supplies the armies of intelligence drones, thermal imagers, high -precision optics, cars, as well as fuel and medicines. In total, the company handed over 7 700 drones, 2,000 thermal imagers, 31,500 first aid kits and turnstiles. Yuri Ryzhenkov, CEO of Metinvest Group, notes: “From the first day of a full -scale invasion, we continue the struggle for Ukraine. Despite the challenges of wartime, Metinvest was able not only to withstand, but also to maintain the status of an export leader, the support of the state and one of the largest donors of the Armed Forces. ” Equally importance to the company is the support of veterans. Metinvest actively assists over 8,000 of their employees who serve in the Armed Forces. For them, the company provides everything necessary - from ammunition to equipment, and after returning from the front offers free retraining, advanced training and psychological rehabilitation.
Metinvest also launched a humanitarian project "Save Life", which helped about 516,000 civilians of Ukraine. Thanks to partners, the company delivered 4,200 tons of humanitarian cargo to the country, and provided hospitals with medicines and equipment for 9.5 million UAH. Despite the difficulty, the company continues to invest in development. In 2025, Metinvest plans to refer more than UAH 5.7 billion for the development of mining and processing facilities in Kryvyi Rih and UAH 2.5 billion for improving the production of Kameethstal. It is necessary to mention the significant contribution of the company to filling the State Budget of Ukraine. In 2024, Metinvest transferred to budgets of all levels UAH 19.8 billion, which is 61% of the total amount of taxes paid by metallurgical enterprises of the country.
Metinvest not only helps Ukraine during the war, but also actively invests in its future, emphasizing its important role in the restoration of the country after victory.
