DMZ and Sukha Balka have allocated UAH 15 million to help the AFU since 2022

Dnipro Metallurgical Plant (DMZ) and Sukha Balka mine, part of DCH Steel, have been actively supporting the Ukrainian Defense Forces since the start of the full-scale invasion. Since 2022, they have allocated more than UAH 15 million to meet the needs of the army and support military families, the group’s corporate newspaper says.

Since the first days of the full-scale war, the companies have provided units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and the National Guard (NGU) with important equipment and materials. The donations include cars, fuel, rolled metal, body armor, thermal imagers and computer equipment. All this help significantly improves the supply of Ukrainian soldiers at the front line.

Currently, most of the companies’ staff of about a thousand employees is at the front. DMZ and Sukha Balka allocated UAH 7.3 million to support wounded soldiers and families of fallen heroes.

In 2024, DMZ reduced rolled steel production by 59.4% compared to 2023, to 42.9 thousand tons. Coke production decreased by 1.2% y/y – to 289.1 thousand tons.

Last year, Sukha Balka mined 1.002 million tons of crude ore. Production of commercial products amounted to 917 thousand tons, down 1.5% y/y. The company plans to mine 930 thousand tons of crude ore and produce 850 thousand tons of commercial products in 2025.
