“We collected cars for the Armed Forces for four months in different parts of Europe – in Germany, Poland, Italy. In particular, this was done by employees of Metinvest – guys who went abroad. There they looked for cars, organized their repair and delivery to Ukraine,” said Oleksandr Vodoviz, head of the general director project office  of the Metinvest group.

The other day, Metinvest handed over the last batch of 20 machines. In general, thanks to the company’s help, the fleet of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was replenished with 100 vehicles. All equipment will go to the front line to help servicemen in the performance of combat missions.

The expenses for the purchase of cars, maintenance and transportation were taken over by the Metinvest group. About $2 million was allocated for this.
