One in eight of Ukrainian companies are registered in frontline territories” – OpenDataBot

The latest report by OpenDataBot found that 180,253 Ukrainian companies are registered in the country’s  frontline territories, which represents a hefty share of 13% of the country’s total business registrations, exceeding 1.4 million.

The largest concentration of the businesses can be found in the Kharkiv (over 69,000), Zaporizhzhia (32,000), and Mykolaiv (27,000) regions. These regions, despite the challenges of war, continue to demonstrate resilience.

However, it’s not all smooth for domestic businesses. About 1,100 companies operate in zones where active combat is raging, and government registers have been cut off.

Meanwhile, another 25,000 (14%) businesses continue to operate in conflict zones, with access to government electronic resources still intact. The majority, 153,000 businesses, are located in the regions that can face  a serious risk of active fighting.
