The increase over the last 12 months amounted to more than 300,000 people and an additional 9,000 critical enterprises. A large part of this increase comes from frontline areas. Since the fall, when the government introduced an additional 100% quota for frontline areas, the number of reserved workers there has risen to 100,000 people

The government has revised approaches to determining business criticality, changed requirements for salary levels, and clarified the procedure for calculating reservation quotas.
