Bumbox and Bez Obmezhennya granted status of critically important enterprises

The Ministry of Culture of Ukraine officially recognised the bands Bumbox and Bez Obmezhennya as critically important enterprises. This means that their members and staff are exempt from mobilisation and will continue their activities without the risk of being conscripted into the army.

What explains this decision?

Most likely, the Ministry of Culture took into account the artists' active participation in charity concerts, which are held both in Ukraine and abroad. The funds raised at such events are directed to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

At the same time, a large number of musicians and actors serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who do not claim conscription exemption and defend the country alongside other liable persons.
