Metinvest Mining and Metallurgical Group will resume investments in new Ukrainian assets only after the war, the company's CEO Yuriy Ryzhenkov has said.
For 80 days, at a sprawling steelworks, a relentless Russian assault met unyielding Ukrainian resistance. This is how it was for those who fought, and for those trapped beneath the battlefield.
Metinvest Mining and Metallurgical Group can track steel products stolen from the metallurgical enterprises of Mariupol by numbers and grades of steel and photographic records of wagons, Azovstal CEO Enver Tskitishvili said in an interview with Delo.ua.
Diplomacy will be bringing this conflict to an end any time soon. my colleague ben brown has been speaking to enver tskitishvili, director general of the azovstal steel works, about the evacuation process. translation: we never thought about it until 2014. we didn t imagine that azovstal could become some kind of fortress or such an important point in the city of mariupol. when mariupol, especially the eastern part of the city, came under shelling by artillery, heavy artillery, we started to think about what we could do if de escalation came further into the city. and we started to restore bomb shelters which remain from the soviet union. there were five very powerful bomb shelters that, according to soviet standards at the time, could withstand a direct nuclear strike.
