by providing transport, drones, protective engineering structures, body armour, protective equipment, and medical assistance. As of January 2023, Rinat Akhmetov's Steel Front initiative donated more than 1200 drones, 766 cars and special vehicles, more than 200,000 body armour items, including 150,000 bulletproof vests, 1 million litres of fuel to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, territorial defenders, and communities. In January 2023, Akhmetov announced the launch of the Heart of Azovstal project to help Mariupol defenders and the families of fallen soldiers. He donated $25 million to finance the project. Metinvest is using its steel to make ‘hedgehogs’ slowing the advance of Russian tanks. Shakhtar Donetsk, the football club sponsored by Akhmetov, opened this year Shelter Center at the Arena Lviv, since then it has received more than 2 thousand internal migrants from different regions of Ukraine. As of the end of August, there were 6,000 temporary accommodation places arranged by Metinvest at its social facilities. The shelter residents receive hot meals, food and hygienic kits. The company has arranged 850 accommodation places in six Dnipropetrovsk and Kyrovohrad communities. In total, the assistance covered 13.5 million people across the country. Since the beginning of Russia's full invasion of Ukraine, DTEK returned power to 6.7 million households in Kyiv and four Ukrainian regions. The company's power engineers respond swiftly to re-energise localities cut off electricity supply because of hostilities. After the power plants in Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts were hit by Russian missile strikes, causing widespread blackouts in five regions of Ukraine, Rinat Akhmetov and DTEK Group decided to start helping restore electricity supply all over Ukraine, even in the areas not covered by DTEK power grid. Since the outbreak of the war, Akhmetov's DTEK has been supplying free electricity worth UAH 350 million to medical and military facilities in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Donetsk oblasts. Metinvest has developed special chemical composition of steel to produce plates for body armour. The company has already provided 150,000 bulletproof vests to the army, the territorial defence forces, law enforcement agencies, and members of emergency rescue teams. Highlighted by Bloomberg, the latest development of Metinvest's specialists is prefabricated dugouts, or portable steel war shelters for Ukrainian defenders. These are special shelters for strengthening trenches that can be used as a full-fledged field accommodation, and one such shelter costs about UAH 200,000 ($5,450). Like all other equipment and protective gear, Metinvest delivers the shelters to the military
