Hi Agnieszka,

 

I'm afraid it won't be possible. As of March 7, 2022, Upwork does not allow new customers from Russia or Belarus to join and started suspending all new businesses where either a client or a freelancer is located within Russia or Belarus. If you currently have a contract, it will remain open to allow you to wind down your contract, with final billing due by May 1, 2022. You may want to visit this page as well as this one, for the most up-to-date information.
