"In the context of war, paying taxes is critically important for supporting the Ukrainian economy. Our company's main goal is to strengthen the country's defense capabilities by all available means: to be a reliable employer, investor, steel product manufacturer for the front, and supplier of ammunition and equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Only through joint efforts can we create a solid foundation for Ukraine's victory and ensure a peaceful future for Ukrainians," said Yuriy Ryzhenkov, CEO of Metinvest.
