By supporting the defense capability of our defenders, we are bringing Ukraine’s inevitable victory closer,” commented CEO and the head of the Metinvest’s project office Olexander Vodoviz.

In total, the Armed Forces of Ukraine received about 500 drones from the company.

The devices were handed over to the military defending sections of the eastern and southern fronts.
