05 апр 2011 Metinvest to increase efficiency of its steelmaking facilities Metinvest (“the Company”), the international vertically integrated mining and steel group of companies, today announced its plans to increase efficiency of its Yenakiieve Iron and Steel Works (Yenakiieve Steel) by improving the production site administration and management. The planned steps, taken within the frame of Metinvest’s ongoing continuous improvements, reconstruction and production modernisation programme are expected to result in growing margins of Yenakiieve Steel due to increased share of finished products from Makiivka Steel rolling mills. Simultaneous optimisation of Yenakiieve Steel rolling capacity and streamlining of production and management processes at both sites will enable the Company to considerably reduce its overhead and production costs. Metinvest has set up a taskforce of the best steel makers and managers following the integration of Makiivka Iron and Steel Works (Makiivka Steel) into Metinvest Group in October 2010. The taskforce’s key objective was to find the most efficient model of the Makiivka Steel rolling capacities integration into the existing supply chain. The new model will improve Yenakiieve Steel efficiency through complementing the existing product range with Makiivka Steel products. Alexander Pogozhev, Director of Steel and Rolled Products Division at Metinvest, commented: “We have all the prerequisites to successfully implement the integration and significantly increase efficiency of our production facilities. First of all, our plants’ favourable geographical locations allow to almost fully cover raw materials need of Makiivka Steel with supplying billets from Yenakiieve Steel. As a result of the integration, almost 100% of the continuous cast billets from Yenakiieve Steel, constituting over half of its merchant products volume, will be fed into rolling mills 390 and 150 at Makiivka Steel. We are also planning to optimise the in-house rolling facilities of Yenakiieve Steel. Steel casting and rolling capacities will be managed in a more efficient way. Joint efforts of the specialists from both production sites will enable a faster facility development and allow us to produce new types of finished rolled products made of carbon, high carbon and low alloyed grades of steel.” The reorganization of the companies does not envisage changes in legal status of the enterprises.

Problems of Mining the Prospective Coal-Bearing Areas in Donbas

The prospective coal-bearing areas of Donbas in Ukraine have been identified. Their development will increase the energy security of Ukraine. It has been suggested that the development of these areas will involve mining the coal seams in a weak roof and floor environment, which are characterized by low compressive strength, lower density and a tendency to plastic deformations. The stability has been assessed of the rocks outcrop on the contour of mine roadways for mines operating in these areas. It has been determined that roof rocks in most of these mines belong to a range of groups from very unstable to moderately stable, and the bottom rocks are, in most cases, prone to swelling. This complicates the intensive prospective areas mining with the use of advanced technologies, as well as secondary support for retained goaf-side gateroads with limited yielding property. The mines have been determined, for which this issue is relevant when mining the seams with further increase in the depth. The mechanism of displacement in the secondary supports and has been exemplified and studied using the numerical method.

Hybrid Warfare and the Protection of Civilians in Ukraine

Cover: June 4, 2013, Spartak, Ukraine: June 2021 Unexploded ordnances in Eastern Ukraine continue to cause harm to civilians. T +1 202 558 6958 E [email protected] civiliansinconflict.org ORGANIZATIONAL MISSION AND VISION Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) is an international organization dedicated to promoting the protection of civilians in conflict. CIVIC envisions a world in which no civilian is harmed in conflict. Our mission is to support communities affected by conflict in their quest for protection and strengthen the resolve and capacity of armed actors to prevent and respond to civilian harm. CIVIC was established in 2003 by Marla Ruzicka, a young humanitarian who advocated on behalf of civilians affected by the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Honoring Marla’s legacy, CIVIC has kept an unflinching focus on the protection of civilians in conflict. Today, CIVIC has a presence in conflict zones and key capitals throughout the world where it collaborates with civilians to bring their protection concerns directly to those in power, engages with armed actors to reduce the harm they cause to civilian populations, and advises governments and multinational bodies on how to make life-saving and lasting policy changes. CIVIC’s strength is its proven approach and record of improving protection outcomes for civilians by working directly with conflict-affected communities and armed actors. At CIVIC, we believe civilians are not “collateral damage” and civilian harm is not an unavoidable consequence of conflict—civilian harm can and must be prevented.

The communities were carefully selected in line with the project’s objectives and applications received from local authorities. Preference was given to the communities in close proximity to the “contact line” and to exit and entry checkpoints (EECPs), as well as large districts with a significant proportion of rural residents. Last but not least, the interest of communities in working and closely cooperating with the programme was assessed so as to ensure the sustainability of subsequent results. As a result, the following communities were selected to participate in the “Mobile Service Delivery for Conflict-Affected Populations in Eastern Ukraine” Project: Kurakhove, Mariinka, Mariupol, Siversk and Vuhledar in Donetsk Oblast, and Novoaidar, Popasna, Shchastia, Sievierodonetsk and Stanytsia Luhanska in Luhansk Oblast (see Figure 1).

NOS. 701-TA-573-574 AND 731-TA-1349-1358 (PRELIMINARY) TESTIMONY OF CRAIG A. LEWIS, ESQ. HOGAN LOVELLS US LLP ON BEHALF OF PUBLIC JOINT STOCK COMPANY YENAKIIEVE IRON & STEEL WORKS 1. Good morning Commission staff. My name is Craig Lewis and I am a partner with Hogan Lovells. I am appearing today on behalf of Ukrainian producers Yenakiieve Steel and its Makiivka steel works. I regret that Metinvest was unable to provide a company witness from Ukraine on such short notice. 2. Until very recently, Yenakiieve was a fully integrated Ukrainian steel company operating within the Metinvest Group. Yenakiieve Steel produced a wide range of metal products including billets, angles, channels, beams, wire rod, and rebar. 3. I refer you to the map we have provided. The Yenakiieve and Makiivka steel works are located in the Donetsk region of Eastern Ukraine. Since 2014, the Donbas region of Ukraine, including the cities of Yenakiieve and Makiivka, has become a war zone, as separatist groups, backed by Russia, seized the region through military action. Political and security control of the region has been taken away from the Ukrainian Government and seized by the separatists. 4. The resulting conflict has claimed the lives of many thousands of innocent civilians and Ukrainian soldiers. It has also had a profound negative impact on manufacturing industries in the region. Critical infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, including 1 separatist also began a systematic inventory of the plants, their equipment, and stores.
