Thus, the fulfillment of this task is a completely new challenge for the Ukrainian industry, which is on a war footing. Ukrainian enterprises, regardless of the form of ownership, need to retain highly qualified specialists and attract new professionals. Will the changes in the mobilization and reservation become an incentive for the development of already existing enterprises and the creation of new ones? |
