The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the draft Law "On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine Regarding Payments to Military Personnel Released from Captivity Who Have Diseases That Require Long-Term Inpatient Treatment" (Registration No. 13627).
The document guarantees the preservation of financial support for military personnel who, after being released from captivity, cannot continue their service due to complex illnesses and require long-term inpatient treatment. Payment is made until their further fitness for military service is determined or they are released from it.
The law provides for amendments to the laws of Ukraine "On Social and Legal Protection of Military Personnel and Members of Their Families" and "On Military Duty and Military Service" in order to clearly establish the right to financial support for this category of defenders. The law comes into force on the day following the day of its publication.
The adoption of this document is an act of justice for servicemen who were captured, tortured or ill-treated, and are currently undergoing difficult treatment. The state certifies that soldiers who have returned from captivity are not left alone with their problems. They have the right to support – not in words, but at the level of the law.
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has extended the period during which employers from frontline and most affected by full-scale war regions will receive compensation for employing internally displaced persons.
According to the resolution developed by the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture and supported by the Cabinet of Ministers, employers will receive compensation for six months, not three, as previously determined.
The program will be expanded for employers operating in Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, and Chernihiv regions.
Compensation is paid in the amount of the minimum wage (currently UAH 8,000) for each employed IDP for whom a single social insurance contribution (SIC) is paid.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the draft law No. 13721 on establishing privileges for paying administrative fees and other mandatory payments in the field of state registration.
The draft law provides for exemption from payment of administrative fees and state duties for a number of registration actions for persons who have suffered as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation, as well as for internally displaced persons and business entities located in territories where hostilities are ongoing or which are temporarily occupied.
Corresponding changes are made to:
- Law of Ukraine "On State Registration of Real Rights to Real Estate and Their Encumbrances",
- Law of Ukraine “On State Registration of Legal Entities, Individual Entrepreneurs and Public Organizations”,
- Law of Ukraine "On State Registration of Civil Status Acts",
- Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine "On State Duty".
This draft is a form of recognition of the contribution of defenders, victims, and displaced persons: administrative services should be accessible, not become another obstacle. This is not about a separate thank you, but about a systemic solution to the life situations that citizens face in wartime.
The document creates a unified logic of preferential access to state registration - instead of fragmentary exceptions or bureaucratic "coincidences". It introduces clear, transparent rules that guarantee fair treatment for those who, at the cost of their own health, freedom or life, defended the country, who lost their homes, or continue to hold on to the affected territories.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine supported draft law No. 13622 on state support for injured participants in the Revolution of Dignity, injured participants with disabilities, and family members of the fallen (deceased) Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred in the first reading .
The goal of the initiative is to recognize the contribution of individuals who were injured in mass public protest actions in Ukraine from November 21, 2013 to February 21, 2014 for European integration and against the Yanukovych regime, by defining at the level of a separate legislative act the legal status of injured participants in the Revolution of Dignity, injured participants in the Revolution of Dignity with disabilities, and family members of the fallen (deceased) Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred.
The document proposes to establish that the injured participants of the Revolution of Dignity include persons who, while participating in the Revolution of Dignity, received bodily injuries (severe, moderate, mild), but such injuries did not lead to disability, and sought medical help between November 21, 2013 and April 30, 2014.
At the same time, it is proposed to recognize as injured participants of the Revolution of Dignity with disabilities persons who became disabled as a result of injuries, mutilations, contusions or other health injuries received during participation in the Revolution of Dignity and who sought medical assistance between November 21, 2013 and April 30, 2014.
The draft law stipulates that the relevant statuses cannot be granted to police officers, persons who served in special-purpose law enforcement agencies, servicemen of the internal troops and other military formations.
State support is proposed to be provided in the fields of healthcare, education and professional adaptation, and social protection.
Local governments will also be able to provide additional support using local budget funds.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted Law No. 13335, which allows for the reservation of men with problems in military registration (who are wanted by the Central Military Commission or are not registered) at critical enterprises.
The document gives critical enterprises, as well as enterprises of the defense-industrial complex (DIC), the right to reserve for 45 days military personnel, even if they have improperly executed military registration documents or are not registered with the military.
According to the law, all military-liable employees of critical enterprises who do not have or have improperly issued a military ID card, as well as those who have not specified their personal data, are subject to reservation.
Such a reservation is provided only once a year and does not exempt from liability for violation of military registration rules.
In addition, a maximum probationary period of 45 days is established when hiring at defense industry enterprises. If the employee does not eliminate the violation of military registration within the specified period, the employer has the right to dismiss him.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted draft law No. 14030 "On the Basic Principles of State Supervision (Control)".
This is a key step in the reform of the state control system, aimed at simplifying procedures, increasing transparency, and creating clear rules of interaction between business and control bodies.
The document replaces the outdated law on state supervision, which had been in effect for over 15 years, and unifies rules for all areas — from education to food safety and veterinary control.
The adoption of draft law No. 14030 is one of the conditions for the implementation of the Ukraine Facility plan, which will allow attracting about 250 million euros in financing from a total of 50 billion euros provided for by the program for 2024-2027.
Main changes introduced by draft law No. 14030 :
- service approach to control. The state becomes a partner for honest business. Voluntary audit and liability insurance mechanisms are provided, reducing the frequency of inspections for low-risk enterprises;
- risk-based model. Inspections will be less frequent and shorter: for businesses with a low risk – no more than once every 5 years;
- digital recording. All inspections will be recorded on audio and video, which minimizes corruption risks;
- electronic interaction. Explanations and objections to inspection reports can be submitted online through the electronic account with the QES;
- new protection options. Businesses will be able to appeal the actions of regulatory authorities to the State Regulatory Service without going to court - faster and without costs;
- public oversight. Public councils are established under oversight bodies to review complaints and ensure transparency.
The State Statistics Service of Ukraine, by order No. 176 of October 3, 2025, approved the List of Codes of Organizational and Legal Forms for statistical purposes (LC OLF).
The document was developed in connection with the loss of validity of the Commercial Code of Ukraine and the entry into force of amendments to the Law "On State Registration of Legal Entities, Individual Entrepreneurs and Public Organizations", introduced by the Law of Ukraine "On Peculiarities of Regulation of the Activities of Legal Entities of Certain Organizational and Legal Forms in the Transitional Period and Associations of Legal Entities".
The new list comes into force on January 1, 2026 and is intended for use by employees of state statistics bodies when producing official statistical information.
The list includes codes and names of organizational and legal forms, including those for which the legislation does not provide or prohibits the creation of new legal entities. Such forms are marked with the symbol «*)» in Section III of the LC OLF.
Series codes (100–900) will be used to summarize the list items.
The document also provides the correspondence of the codes with the national classifier DK 002:2004 "Classification of Organizational and Legal Forms of Business" (COLFB), which will ensure data comparability .
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted draft Law No. 13174 "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine Regarding the Protection of Land Rights of Owners of Real Estate Objects Destroyed as a Result of Hostilities."
The document is aimed at protecting the rights of citizens whose property was destroyed during the Russian aggression, and provides them with the opportunity to return or acquire ownership of land plots that were under such objects.
Under the new rules, if the ownership of real estate was terminated in the State Register of Property Rights due to its destruction, former owners or their heirs can receive land plots free of charge or through transfer without holding land auctions.
This decision will be valid during martial law and for 5 years after its termination, with further simplification of procedures - without the mandatory development of urban planning documentation, provided that the intended purpose of the site corresponds to the purpose of the destroyed facility.
In addition, the law provides that the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment will have the right to approve the methodology for determining damage caused to land resources due to pollution or littering, and diplomatic missions will be able to be exempt from land rent, provided that this is provided for by international treaties approved by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
The decision is accompanied by measures to protect against potential abuses, in particular through the use of data from official state registers and limiting the right to receive plots only to those persons whose rights have been effectively terminated due to destruction.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the draft Law on Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine Regarding the Organizational Principles of Providing Support in the Agricultural Sector (Registration No. 13202-1).
The draft law was developed to fulfill Ukraine's international obligations defined in Articles 403-406 of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union, as well as to implement the EU initiative the Ukraine Facility.
The law is aimed at improving the mechanisms for providing state support to agricultural producers, increasing the efficiency of using budget funds, and creating transparent and understandable rules for agricultural business.
The adopted Law proposes a modern system of state support for the agricultural sector - transparent, technological and accountable. Its entry into force will create a basis for a fair distribution of funds among producers and bring Ukrainian legislation closer to the standards of the EU Common Agricultural Policy.
A key innovation is the creation of a Disbursing Agency that will administer, control, and monitor all support programs. This means that every hryvnia of state aid will have its own digital trail – from application to payment.
The second element is the Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS), which will provide automated accounting and verification of beneficiaries. Together with the Agricultural Data System (ADS), it will create a complete database of information on land, production, and the condition of farms.
Three levels of control are provided: automated, documentary, and physical. This model minimizes corruption risks and makes it possible to detect violations directly during payments. Violators of the support conditions will be required to return the funds and temporarily lose the right to participate in the programs.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted draft Law on Credit History, reg. No. 14013. The purpose of the draft law is to strengthen the protection of borrowers' rights, improve the exchange of information in the credit market and improve its quality, as well as encourage responsible lending and ensure the targeted use of credit history exclusively for assessing creditworthiness, managing credit risk, and identifying and verifying clients.
The document proposes to establish the legal, financial and organizational principles for maintaining credit histories: collection, processing, storage, protection and use of information on the fulfillment of monetary obligations by individuals, the functioning of institutions related to the collection, processing, storage, protection and use of this information, and the legal basis for state supervision of such activities.
The draft clarifies the list of information included in a credit history, its storage period (up to 10 years), and the mechanisms for its destruction after this period. Lenders will be required to transfer data to credit bureaus within two business days - this eliminates delays and reduces the risks of fraud.
One of the main innovations is the “stop-credit” mechanism – every citizen will be able to declare their unwillingness to conclude new credit agreements. Any credit issued after such a declaration may be declared null and void. This significantly increases the protection of citizens from fraudulent schemes and credit pressure.
The draft law guarantees a citizen's right to free access to their own credit history and the ability to correct or delete inaccurate data.
The National Bank of Ukraine will supervise the activities of credit bureaus, conduct inspections and certify security systems. Cross-border data exchange is also possible with the borrower's consent.
The adoption of the draft will contribute to reducing the share of overdue loans, strengthening financial discipline, and ensuring compliance with international data protection standards. This is an important step towards the stability and transparency of the Ukrainian financial sector.
