Business operations during a yellow alert – a resolution by MPs

A draft resolution has been registered in the Verkhovna Rada seeking a review of Cabinet of Ministers Decision No. 1092 of 4 September 2026 concerning the ban on business operations during the yellow threat level. The document was signed by 31 MPs.

MP Yaroslav Zhelezniak reported this, according to Censor.NET.

What the draft entails

Draft resolution No. 16207 was registered on 2 November during the 16th session of the ninth convocation. According to Zhelezniak, the document proposes three changes:

  • Businesses decide for themselves whether to operate during a yellow alert;
  • Each employee assesses the threat individually and may take shelter;
