Entrepreneurship grows in Ukraine as state ends economic assistance program

Protesters, holding flags reading “Save individual entrepreneurs”, take part in a march demanding to rescind the law cancelling the simplified tax system on Jan. 28, 2021 in downtown Kyiv. The state paid $100 million to nearly 340,000 Ukrainian individual entrepreneurs and employees as one-time economic assistance for two months. In total, they received almost $240 million during the quarantine.
