Company's utmost goal in war conditions was to "help Ukrainians survive and withstand". "My Foundation is helping Ukrainians survive by providing water, food, medicines, and any help we can give here and now. SCM businesses are helping the army and territorial defence forces defend our sovereignty, our freedom and independence, and win the war," he emphasised. Rinat Akhmetov further highlighted that SCM was using its international connections and opportunities to get the true information across to their international partners that peaceful Ukrainians were dying and suffering because of Russia's aggression: "What is unfolding here is a war crime and a crime against humanity, against Ukraine and the Ukrainians. This can neither be explained nor justified." Since the outbreak of the war, SCM businesses together with the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation (ex-Foundation for Development of Ukraine) and FC Shakhtar Donetsk have channelled over UAH 1.4 billion ($48 million) to help Ukraine and the Ukrainians. This includes the following assistance: SCM channels UAH 100 million to help Kyiv Metinvest purchases armour for territorial defence fighters for UAH 330 million.Metinvest Group's steel mills provide metal and make 35,000 anti-tank hedgehogs and spike strips against wheeled vehicles FUIB channels UAH 62.4 million to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Territorial Defence Forces YASNO allocates UAH 5 million in humanitarian aid DTEK supplies free electricity to hospitals, military facilities and emergency services, and bakeries in three regions, costing around UAH 50 to 60 million per month. The company channels UAH 1.05 million to help territorial defence fighters and children's hospitals. Territorial Defence Forces receive fuel, protective gear, and communication devices. In addition, the power repair crews work 24/7 to restore the damaged power lines.
