Details : Chernyshov said that some Ukrainian industries, particularly in the military-industrial sector, currently need specialists "like air".

Quote : "We have a shortage of professionals, we have a shortage of specialists, and Ukraine is ready to reserve most of them from military service. That is why we are planning to set up centres that will help find job positions in Ukraine and in Ukrainians' countries of residence. These job centres will be able to provide services and encourage people to choose a particular career path in Ukraine."

Details : Chernyshov emphasised that such centres would be able to provide services and help choose a career path in Ukraine. He also expressed confidence that Ukrainian men are eager to do so.

Nevertheless, the minister noted that "men mostly have to defend Ukraine at this moment".
