Instead of doing their usual jobs producing and repairing mining equipment, some workers at a steel plant in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine are busy building metal bunkers for front-line troops.
The pops of welding torches and the piecing whine of angle grinders fill the spacious production floor at a steel plant in Kryvyi Rih, the city in central Ukraine that is President Volodymyr Zelenskyy 's hometown.
Each shelter requires nearly 2 tons of steel. The bunkers are built to withstand projectiles with calibers of up to 152 millimeters, can accommodate up to six soldiers and need to be buried 1.5 meters underground. Zhuk speaks compassionately of the Ukrainian troops he hopes will find a measure of comfort in the bunkers.
