“Metinvest is the example of extraordinary resilience of Ukrainian people,” the press service of Metinvest Group reported, citing Pyatt during his visit to Mariupol Illich Steel Works on April 28.
According to the press release, the largest environmental project in Ukraine, Sinter Plant Modernization, was demonstrated to the U.S. diplomat. Pyatt was made aware of the role of Metinvest in the Ukrainian economy, and other investment projects of Metinvest Group, and its social partnership programs in Mariupol and other cities of the company’s presence.
