The Cabinet of Ministers has decided to automatically extend existing bookings from mobilization for one month, but not longer than until February 28, 2025. This was reported by the Ministry of Economy.
It is noted that this applies to bookings that were valid as of December 19, 2024, and were issued in accordance with Resolution No. 76 dated January 27, 2023. The decision is linked to the temporary suspension of state registries due to a cyberattack.
For example, if an employee's booking was set to expire on December 20, 2024, it will be automatically extended to January 20, 2025. However, if the booking ended before December 19, that is, prior to the cyberattack, employers will be able to renew it after the registries are restored.
The Ministry of Economy added that this decision will simplify the procedure for extending bookings, especially for those working in critical sectors or participating in ensuring the country's economic stability.
Cyberattack on Ukraine's State Registries - What We Know
On December 19, 2024, a large-scale cyberattack occurred on Ukrainian state registries. According to Vice Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olga Stefanishyna, the attack resulted in the temporary suspension of the Unified and State Registries under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice.
Former Minister of Justice Denys Maliuska stated that there is no significant issue with deleting information, as backup copies exist for recovery. He also noted that previously, the Russians focused on stealing information. Now they have not only stolen it but also destroyed it.
