The Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine officially recognized the companies “Supersymmetry” and “Underground Stand-Up” as critically important for the stable functioning of the economy and the livelihood of the population during a special period.
According to the orders of the Ministry of Culture from May 9 to July 16, LLC “Supersymmetry” (the company that owns the rights to all the works of the group “Ocean Elzy”, founded by singer Svyatoslav Vakarchuk) and LLC “Underground Stand-up” (a Ukrainian stand-up project founded by comedian Svyatoslav Zagaykevich) received the status of critically important enterprises. They meet the criteria for ensuring the needs of the Armed Forces and other military formations in wartime conditions.
In addition, the status of critically important was confirmed or granted to a number of media companies and cultural institutions. Among them are LLC “Mediacenter “Visti”, publishing houses “Akademiya” and “Antologiya”, UNIAN TV (LLC “Dijivan”), news agency “Interfax-Ukraine”, radio station “Bukovynska Khvylya”, channel “Bigudi” (LLC “Vizh 4”) and the specially noted TV channel “1+1 Ukraine” (LLC “VIZHN 1+1”).

Recall that at the end of 2024, the government approved Resolution No. 1332, which updated the procedure for booking employees of enterprises with critical status through the “Diya” portal. According to the new rules, enterprises must have an average salary of employees of at least 20 thousand hryvnias per month (2.5 times the minimum wage) for the last quarter, and employees applying for booking must meet these requirements.
On February 7, 2025, the Ministry of Culture approved new criteria for determining enterprises, institutions, and organizations that are key to the cultural and information sectors of the national economy.

The list also includes more than 80 theaters, operas, circuses, orchestras, museums, libraries and educational institutions.
Special attention is paid to the company “1+1”, which has repeatedly been recognized as one of the key players in the Ukrainian media market and is included in the list of companies of critical importance to the state.
We remind you that the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine officially approved that the musical groups “Without Limits” and “Boombox” have the status of being critically important for the economy and the livelihood of the population during a special period.
