The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has offered 5,000 Belarusian IT specialists an opportunity to migrate to Ukraine, Deputy Prime Minister, Digital Transformation Minister of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov said.
“Some 5,000 quotas were distributed among Ukraine’s regions in which there is the largest number of IT companies. Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa and Lviv regions can attract 600 specialists each, Kharkiv region – 700 and Kyiv – 2,500,” the minister said on his Facebook page on Friday.
Recent serious disruptions to the Internet, mobile communication and banking services forced IT companies in Belarus to look for opportunities to move to another country, Fedorov said.
The minister also noted that Ukrainian companies can also offer jobs to such foreigners.
“Immigration within these quotas allows foreign IT specialists to find jobs with the same conditions as Ukrainian citizens,” he said.

According to the information on the Center’s website, the platform brought together 30 Ukrainian think tanks and 60 business representatives. The think tanks include the Institute for Economics and Forecasting of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Advanter Group, Razumkov Center, Ukrainian Institute for the Future, Ukrainian Industry Expertise, and EasyBusiness.

The schools in Ukraine in the new academic year will work in line with the adaptive quarantine rules, Health Minister of Ukraine Maksym Stepanov has said.
“I should recall that the schools will not work only in the cities or districts, where the red epidemiological hazard level would be introduced,” he told a Saturday briefing.
“In all other [residential locations] marked with green, yellow and orange, respectively, they will work as usual with strict observation of the rules approved for the school education process. They include wearing masks and some other restrictions introduced by the rules. I would like to recall once again that we must respect all of these rules for the sake of our children’s health,” the minister said.
