More than 8,000 entrepreneurs received compensation of UAH 181 million last year for employing more than 14,400 internally displaced persons (IDPs), the press service of the Ministry of Economy reported on Tuesday.
The ministry noted that since the compensation is set at the minimum wage, it has increased from UAH 6,700 to UAH 7,100 since January 1 this year, and will rise to UAH 8,000 since April 1.
“In addition, the duration of the compensation payment has been increased from two to three months, and for the employment of IDPs with disabilities, the employer will be able to receive such compensation for six months,” Deputy Minister Tetyana Berezhna said in the release.
As reported, in April 2022, the government introduced a compensation program for employers to encourage entrepreneurs to hire IDPs.

Oil prices are rising on Wednesday on the back of data from the American Petroleum Institute (API) showing another decline in US stockpiles.
According to API estimates, oil reserves in the United States fell by 5.215 million barrels in the week ended January 5.
The US Department of Energy will release its own data on energy reserves at 17:30 p.m. A week earlier, the decline in oil reserves in the country amounted to 5.5 million barrels.
The cost of March futures for Brent on the London ICE Futures exchange as of 7:15 a.m. was $77.9 per barrel, which is $0.31 (0.4%) higher than at the close of the previous trading. On Tuesday, these contracts rose by $1.47 (1.9%) to $77.59 per barrel.
February futures for WTI in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) have risen in price by this time by $0.38 (0.53%) to $72.62 per barrel. As a result of previous trading, the value of these contracts increased by $1.47 (2%) to $72.24 per barrel.
The oil market is also supported by attacks by Yemeni Houthis on ships in the Red Sea. The fact that the incidents continue despite the actions of the US and UK navies in the region increases fears of a protracted conflict, forcing transport companies to look for workarounds to transport goods.
A total of 328 healthcare institutions are connected to the provision of telemedicine services in Ukraine.
According to the Ministry of Health, in 2023, 8893 teleconsultations were conducted in Ukraine thanks to the implemented telemedicine solutions.
The Ministry clarifies that telemedicine services will be included in 31 of the 41 packages of the Medical Guarantee Program.
“In 2024, telemedicine will be a powerful tool for providing medical and rehabilitation care. Telemedicine solves a number of problems with the availability of services, especially for patients who cannot visit a doctor due to their condition and remoteness,” the agency emphasizes.
More than 14.6 million people in Ukraine are in need of humanitarian assistance, and Ukrainian refugees who fled the country due to the war also need help, the UN website reported on January 9.
“This year, according to UN estimates, more than 14.6 million people in Ukraine – 40 percent of the country’s population – will need humanitarian assistance. The UN also reminds that 6.3 million Ukrainians who fled abroad need help,” the publication says.
It is noted that next Monday, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), together with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), will present a 2024 response plan for Ukraine, as well as for Ukrainian refugees and host countries in the region in Geneva.
UNHCR expresses concern that many Ukrainian refugees remain without the necessary support.
The UN welcomes the European Union’s decision to extend temporary protection measures for Ukrainian refugees until March 2025, while emphasizing that efforts to integrate IDPs into the national systems of host countries should be a priority.
