HR For Ukraine
đź’ł Paying people
Western Union + Transfer wise has stopped working in Ukraine.
- Try contacting Employers of Record like Deel etc.
- Looks like **Wise** still works or maybe only for personal transfers? They lifted the amounts from 200UAH to 2.500GBP/EUR/USD
- Crypto might be a last resort option, provided your people in Ukraine have the means to convert crypto into cash, if traditional payments infrastructure isn’t working anymore*
*not sure about the compliance & AML aspect, but setting that aside given the situation.
A normal crypto exchange like Coinbase should be sufficient, but there may be better ways to transfer with a crypto remittance business e.g. Circle who are behind one of the largest “stablecoins” on the market
🚆 Leaving Ukraine
- From Kyiv people can travel by train. Trains are there always, all the day. There are no exact schedule in order to make sure they are safe.

- Czech Railways (Ceske drahy) made it possible for Ukrainians to travel in their trains for free, effective immediately. The only thing you need is a Ukrainian passport.
- All COVID-related limitations for people who enter Czech Republic from Ukraine have been lifted.
🏡 Finding Support
