Metinvest's volunteers collect humanitarian aid 24/7. The Humanitarian Coordination Centre continues operate as normal. It has been launched on the site of Zaporizhstal under umbrella of Rinat Akhmetov and Vadym Novynsky's Metinvest Group. Food, medicines and essentials are delivered here from Poland. Volunteers of the Centre sort our goods and form special packages, which are then transported to other localities to help refugees and war victims.

We remind that SCM businesses and the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation coordinate and unite their efforts to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe caused by the Russian aggression in Ukraine. Fifteen days into the war, the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation and SCM businesses have donated over UAH 600 million in aid for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.

Poland has set up a hub to accumulate aid from all over the world and bring it to Ukraine.
Oleksandr Myronenko, Head of Metinvest's Humanitarian Centre in Zaporizhzhia and CEO of Zaporizhstal, said in a live televised statement on Ukraina 24 TV channel:

"Metinvest has already allocated more than UAH 600 million for humanitarian needs. Zaporizhzhia has set up a hub toaccumulate humanitarian aid delivered from a Polish humanitarian centre that accepts the aid from all over the world. Metinvest volunteers accept, sort out, and help deliver the aid," said Oleksandr Myronenko.

Thanks to well-established logistics and well-coordinated work of the team, the Centre can accept up to 15 railcars and process 700 tonnes of cargoes daily. Volunteers work daily to form humanitarian survival kits.

This Centre accumulates humanitarian aid delivered from the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation and the Saving Lives Humanitarian Centre set up by Metinvest and DTEK in coordination with the Foundation with the support of the Presidential Office and local humanitarian centres. In particular, the Centre accepts and sorts out humanitarian aid from Metinvest's partners, and the company supports the logistics.
