The heart of the local economy is the state-owned roll mill, a key employer in the region. The city's architecture reflects its industrial character, with functional buildings constructed around the large factory complexes. Despite its industrial focus, the surrounding area also features green spaces and parks for residents' recreation. Culturally, the city is influenced by the traditions of the Donbas region. The local cuisine is hearty and simple, with dishes like borscht and 'varenyky' being typical of Ukrainian home cooking.
