During the war, the company "Metinvest" suffered significant losses but established new export chains and shifted production to military rails. Overall, since the beginning of the war, the company has allocated 2.5 billion UAH in support of the army, making it the largest private donor to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Reported by NV.

In particular, the company has developed technology for the production of special steel for armor plates, the main components of bulletproof vests, and shields to protect military vehicles for the Armed Forces. Experts plan to equip 200 frontline vehicles with armor.

The company has also provided over 330 special mobile shelters, made of steel, to the soldiers as well as produced over 250 fake artillery pieces - replicas of howitzers and radar installations. The frontline protection of Ukrainian armored vehicles is supported by 32 'lancelet catchers,' developed by Metinvest specialists.

To strengthen the defense capabilities of the Armed Forces, the company has established a systematic supply of military equipment and machinery to the frontlines. This includes over 1500 drones, 1700 thermal imagers, 875 units of communication equipment, and over 520 multipurpose vehicles.
