On December 14 in Palace of Culture “Orbita” the day of the liquidation of the consequences of Chernobyl disaster passed. “Zaporizhstal” traditionally congratulated the liquidators and presented memorable gifts.
At the solemn event, representatives of city and regional authorities, as well as representatives of large industrial businesses in Zaporizhzhia region honoured the heroes.
The gifts on behalf of “Zaporizhstal” and “Zaporozhogneupor” for the heroes of the liquidation were presented by Yaroslav Kryl, head of parliamentary party Opposition Bloc in Zaporizhzhia Regional Council, head of PJSC “Zaporizhstal” department:
— Today, we honour the liquidators of the consequences of the biggest technological catastrophe in the history of mankind. As a deputy, I want to say that at the time when the state abolishes privileges for liquidators of the accident, “Zaporizhstal” Steel Works provides them with support on a system level. Jointly with “Zaporozhogneupor” we have allocated UAH 20 000 for gifts for Chernobyl veterans. Last year I was personally invited to such a meeting. It’s very nice to see smiling faces. However, eyes are sad. The support of “Zaporizhstal” Steel Works is not limited to such actions. We support Chernobyl veterans on a system level throughout each year.
