According to an email sent Monday by the company to employees in Europe, Middle East, and Africa, employees of Ukrainian Tesla will be paid for at least three consecutive months if they are required to return to their country to defend it. The email didn’t indicate whether the benefit would be extended to North American employees or other countries.

Tesla will reevaluate the Russia/Ukraine war situation and those of their employees after three months to determine what additional work is required.

 Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian President, called up reservists in order to fight back at February ahead of the expected invasion.

The Monday email, sent 12 days after Russia invaded Ukraine, praised Tesla employees for their assistance in bringing its Starlink satellite internet service, SpaceX, to Ukraine.
