I welcome anything that supports Ukraine.

Unemployed, underemployed Japanese people would welcome anything which supports them, I'm sure they are feeling extremely supportive of this initiative. /s

Great idea, subsidize employers to give jobs to Ukrainians with no language ability before Japanese people.

I can't think of many jobs they will be able to do. Maybe they should be studying Russian ready for their return?

I would imagine that using the money from grants to put forward a system to specially support employment of foreign refugees or evacuees would be much more productive, but I guess the purpose is just to spend money one single time instead of making a commitment for the future.

They will also be included in another employment subsidies system paid to firms that, in principal, hire for three months individuals unable to get stable work, such as the long-term underemployed and those not in work, education or training. The grants to businesses will be 120,000 yen per employee also for a maximum of three months.

More pork for the trickle down gig work economy. Because Japan has such a sterling record with its foreign worker programs, surely there will be no abuses and the monies will no be going directly into the bosses' pockets, do not pass go.
