NEWS ITEM: As protesters demonstrated against dictator Alexander Lukashenko in Belarus, the country shut off the internet. That hit its IT industry hard. Many companies suspended their activity and asked for help. Ukrainian Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov responded. He offered 5,000 vacancies to Belarusian tech specialists and promised to help them with immigration. However, Ukraine lacks legislation allowing the tech industry to thrive. In fact, even local startups register their businesses in the U.S. to avoid Ukraine’s taxes and ample bureaucracy.
