  "summary": "Ukraine’s government, led by Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi, has finalized an overhaul of its worker deferment system, effectively ending unconditional 100% deferments for defense and energy companies. The changes target firms created solely to shield workers from the draft, while companies could still defer all staff if they regularly send some of the employees to serve in the military.",
