Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Ukrainian content creators have not received awards from YouTube. Silver, gold, and diamond buttons were simply not delivered to Ukraine because of the fighting.
Recently, Ukrainian creators addressed the Ministry of Digital Transformation with a request, and then active communication with the Ukrainian Google team began. The YouTube team took the request into consideration, and finally, there is a positive decision, Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced.
Starting in January 2025, Ukrainian authors will be able to receive awards from YouTube again.
