People who left occupied territories have been unable to officially find new jobs for years.
The government has allowed remote resignations for those whose employers remain in occupied territories or combat zones.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing the Telegram channel of Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.

As the Prime Minister reported, a decision was made at today’s government meeting to launch the corresponding mechanism.
The problem that was solved
People who left occupied territories or combat zones often found themselves in a legal trap. Their employers remained in dangerous regions, but formal employment relationships were not terminated. As a result, these individuals could not officially secure new jobs.
The new mechanism will allow them to sever such relationships remotely—without a personal visit to the employer or government authorities.
How the mechanism works
Resignation applications can be submitted online through the “Diia” app. The system will automatically record the date of termination of employment relationships:
-
it will record the date of termination of employment relationships;
-
it will inform the employer;
-
it will update data in state registers.
“We are removing this legal trap and giving people the opportunity to continue working,” Svyrydenko noted.
Who this is important for
This innovation affects citizens whose employers remain:
-
in temporarily occupied territories;
-
in active combat zones.
In fact, these individuals are no longer working at their previous jobs, but due to legal formalities, they have been unable to officially find new employment.
Recall that starting April 1, additional payments of 1,500 hryvnias for pensioners and vulnerable categories of the population began in Ukraine.
The government also approved the procedure for compensating utility costs at evacuation points for internally displaced persons (IDPs).
At the same time, work continues on the digitalization of public services. Recently, the Ministry of Digital Transformation denied rumors that “Diia” would become a paid service. The transformation of the state enterprise into a joint-stock company will not affect the cost of services—they will remain free for citizens.
