How to make WooCommerce send email notifications immediately after an order is placed instead of after payment?

Question

WordPress

There is an online store on WooCommerce with one configured payment method (plugin from AlfaBank).
Until the buyer pays for the order, no notifications about a new order are sent: neither to the admin nor to the buyer himself.
Can this be fixed somehow? Those. so that notification of a new order is sent regardless of successful payment.
