Universities are processing admissions for eligible candidates, but without issuing invitation letters. Qualified students can be sent university admission letter, as a confirmation of admission.

Invitation letters will only be issued when Ukrainian embassies resume work, and a total lifting of the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is because invitation letters have a lifespan of 6 months from the date of issue. If issued to candidates when Embassies aren’t working yet, their useful lifespan becomes reduced.
