Major changes in Ukraine. The government is taking action against companies protecting employees from the military

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky submitted bills to extend martial law and mobilization, set to be discussed this week. The current period ends on October 31, with a proposed extension of 90 days. The government is also revising mobilization exemption criteria, focusing on critical sectors. New rules may eliminate automatic exemptions for certain businesses, while allowing more flexibility for defense-related companies. A transparent mechanism for voluntary military service is expected by December 1, alongside potential increases in minimum wage affecting exemption costs.
