The American Chamber of Commerce calls on Ukraine’s Government to ensure a transparent military service reservation process and to resume existing army deferments for three months to keep Ukraine's wartime economy running.
Military service deferment is the top challenge for businesses in Ukraine: 81% of members stated that military mobilization impacts their business performance.
Ensuring a clear and transparent reservation procedure is the top step the Ukrainian Government should take to help businesses on the ground. Businesses need this to continue their operations in Ukraine.
84% of AmCham Ukraine members have employees currently serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
AmCham is ready to work with the Government to find the right balance – so the army gets what it needs, the economy and businesses keep running, and taxes are paid to the budget.
