Metinvest Akhmetov has already built 35 strongholds for the Armed Forces on the Defense Line, plans - 90 more

Metinvest has joined the fortification program, which is actually in all directions of the front: with the help of specialists and equipment provided by the enterprise, more than 35 platoon support points have been built. Each such point is a tunnel network and steel crown bunkers produced by metinvest, combined into a single complex. The company plans to build about 90 more points. But more people need to expand production.

Metinvest Operations Director of the Metinvest Group Oleksandr Mironenko told this in an interview with a straight line. "We have already transferred more than 330 bins for the fighters. But the question was that we need to make command points to ensure continuous control of the army near the collision line. After that we had a very meaningful discussion with the military, with command in separate directions. And we developed a project a team point consisting of 5-6 "Kryivka", he said.

According to him, these command points are made with maximum comfort: they are equipped with ventilation, heating, the Internet and all means of communication used Places where online operators watch what is happening on the collision line - observation is made using large TVs and computer equipment, which is also provided by Metinvest. There is a production within the Militar Initiative "Steel Front" Businessman Rinat Akhmetov.

The safety of this production, because we understand that the enemy is constantly looking for places where products for defense of Ukraine are produced. All the platforms on which the products are produced - both mine trails, command points and "hiding places" - are located outside our enterprises. We care about the safety of people who work on these facilities, "Mironenko stressed. He said: a total of about 400-500 metinvest employees are constantly involved in defense production.

And although the company has the ability to expand almost all types of products. a shortage of people who can be involved in production. In addition to the defense direction, there is also standard production of metal products. And some workers are excommunicated from the main production and involved in defense. "We need to hire people additionally.

And now it is very problematic - because there are some issues with the booking of employees, because we are employed through the military enlistment office. That is, a person must formally form, register with the military enlistment office. And when people hear it, they say: we are better looking for something else. That is why we are now trying to cooperate with the Ministry of Economy and the Defense Ministry - because we are able to increase production.
