Sharpening Steel, Securing Europe | Oleksandr Myronenko | GLOBcast

As Europe races to strengthen its defence industrial base and prepare for Ukraine’s reconstruction, industry has become a strategic issue. Under wartime conditions, Metinvest has emerged as a case study in industrial resilience, sustaining operations while supporting Ukraine’s defence effort and civilian needs. In this episode, Oleksandr Myronenko, Chief Operating Officer of Metinvest Holding LLC, reflects on leading a major industrial company through full-scale war and what Europe can learn from Ukraine’s experience. The conversation explores the role of steel, supply chains, and strategic materials in defence readiness, reconstruction, and Europe’s long-term resilience. This episode examines why industrial capacity should be viewed not simply as an economic asset, but as a pillar of European security.
