In Ukraine, they announced a possible shortage of minibus drivers due to mobilization

Starting from April 1, Ukraine may experience a shortage of intercity drivers due to the loss of armor from mobilization. This was announced on March 20 by Igor Zhitinsky, chairman of the All-Ukrainian Association of Passenger Transportation.

"Drivers serving domestic flights in Ukraine cannot all be booked, because the economy of domestic flights does not allow them to officially pay a salary of 20 thousand hryvnias," the Ukrainian TV channel TSN reports his words.

He clarified that it is this level of remuneration that is a prerequisite for reserving employees from mobilization. The situation is such that after April 1, some cities will remain without route drivers, Zhitinsky added. According to him, only 30-40% of Ukrainian transport carriers have the opportunity to book their drivers.

Zhitinsky also noted that international carriers are in a better position. They do not carry beneficiaries, and the cost of travel tickets is more expensive, so they have a chance to get a reservation.
