Residents of Mariupol are outraged by the high level of smoke

It was hard to breathe on the streets of Mariupol this morning because of the falling smog.

The townspeople are of the opinion that the metallurgical plants of the Metinvest group should think about reducing emissions, and not engage in political PR.

“How long will the residents of the city be forced to suffocate? After all, smog is on the streets almost every day. And why is Metinvest, instead of setting up shops and filling the city with tons of campaign waste paper, cannot control emissions into the atmosphere? It would be more necessary for the city, "Mariupol.tv quotes a resident of Mariupol named Eugene.

Let us remind you that Vadim Boychenko, the candidate for the mayor of the city from Rinat Akhmetov's company, has repeatedly stressed that Metinvest cares about the ecology of Mariupol.

“Despite the fact that metallurgy is experiencing serious difficulties, the planned environmental projects are being systematically implemented. One of the most significant - even on a European scale - is the reconstruction of the sinter plant, which accounts for about 80 percent of all harmful emissions. The project budget is about $ 220 million. Now the reconstruction of the second sinter machine is underway, and the third is next in line, ”Boichnko said recently promising that the project will result in an eleven-fold reduction in atmospheric emissions.

“Our goal is to prove our love for our hometown, so that Mariupol becomes cleaner and Mariupol residents breathe easier,” said the candidate from Metinvest.
