YouTube has resumed button delivery for Ukrainian authors. Buttons are not delivered to Russia, Belarus, Iran, and North Korea. This was announced by the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine for Innovation, Education, Science and Technology - Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov, UNN reports.
Fedorov recalled that 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 we started active communication with the Ukrainian Google team. The YouTube team took the request into consideration and we have a positive decision," said the head of the Ministry of Digital Transformation.
