The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has adopted a resolution on amendments to the Procedure for the functioning of the integrated automated system of state supervision (control), or IAS SSC.
These changes are part of the implementation of the decisions of the National Security and Defense Council regarding a moratorium on unfounded business inspections and economic stimulation.
When forming inspection plans, state supervisory authorities are required to use approved risk criteria, which will increase the validity of the selection of inspection objects.
Uploading regulatory legal acts with approved risk criteria and unified forms of inspection reports to the IAS SSC has been ensured - this will increase the transparency of the system.
These innovations should make the control system more predictable and fair for business. Previously, inspections were often perceived as arbitrary - now inspections will be based on risk analysis. It will also reduce the "manual mode" of decision-making by regulatory authorities.
The IAS SSC system has already been used to plan and record control measures. In particular, the system enters regulatory legal acts, information about control objects, and other data that is not restricted information.
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved a new section in the rules of public procurement during martial law. It regulates how customers can use funds from the Ukraine Facility program granted by the European Union.
Alignment of the procedure with the obligations under the Framework Agreement between Ukraine and the EU on the functioning of the Ukraine Facility makes the procurement system more transparent and increases the efficiency of the use of EU funds for recovery and development. This applies to all public procurements with programme funds - from authorities and local communities to education, healthcare and other state and municipal institutions.
The new section defines key conditions for customers:
- Only companies and subcontractors registered in "eligible countries" - EU countries, Ukraine, Western Balkan countries, Georgia, Moldova, European Economic Area countries, as well as other countries that, according to the European Commission, provide Ukraine with support at the level of EU support - can participate in the procedures;
- all goods, including works and services, must also originate from these countries. The list of eligible countries is published on the website of the Ministry of Economy;
- participants and their beneficial owners must not be subject to European Union sanctions.
The Ukraine Facility was launched in 2024 by a decision of the European Parliament and the Council of the EU. Its goal is to help Ukraine finance reconstruction, modernization, and reforms on its path to EU membership.
The Ministry of Social Policy, Family and Unity of Ukraine has developed a draft resolution that provides for an increase in financial support for adoptive parents and foster parents. This is precisely the financial support aimed at supporting their work and the performance of their duties. The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine supported these changes.
At the same time, the amount of social assistance for orphans and children deprived of parental care placed in foster families and family-type orphanages remains unchanged.
From January 1, 2026, the amount of payments will be calculated according to a new formula: for the first child, 2.5 subsistence minimums are provided, for each subsequent child - 1.5 subsistence minimums. If the child has a disability, the payment will be 2 subsistence minimums, and for a child with a disability of subgroup A - 3.5 subsistence minimums.
The changes are being implemented within the framework of the Strategy for Ensuring the Right of Every Child in Ukraine to Grow Up in a Family Environment for 2024–2028. The Strategy provides that by 2028, 95% of orphans and children deprived of parental care will be raised in families, and the number of children in residential institutions will decrease by 30%.
It is expected that the increase in payments will motivate people to become adoptive or foster parents and will promote the creation of new family-type orphanages. This, in turn, will ensure children's right to grow up in a safe and caring family environment.
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine supported the draft Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to Article 14 of the Law of Ukraine "On Free Legal Aid" regarding the expansion of the list of persons entitled to free secondary legal aid."
This is about expanding state guarantees in the area of protecting the rights of one of the most vulnerable categories of citizens - orphans and children deprived of parental care, which include persons aged 18 to 23 years whose parents died or were killed before the age of 18, and persons who were classified as children deprived of parental care.
Currently, children under the age of 18 have the right to free secondary legal aid. However, after the amendments, this right will extend not only to children, but also to orphans and children deprived of parental care, which include persons aged 18 to 23. This means that they will be able to receive the following legal services:
- defense of a lawyer;
- representation in courts, other state bodies, local government bodies, and before other persons;
- preparation of procedural documents.
Thus, the state ensures the right to fair judicial protection and legal support for those young people who cannot count on family support in difficult life situations, in particular in matters of protecting their rights in court, access to housing, or social guarantees.
The initiative was developed to implement the Strategy for Ensuring the Right of Every Child in Ukraine to Grow Up in a Family Environment for 2024-2028, which provides for strengthening legal guarantees for this category of persons and is another step in strengthening the system of free legal aid, which has been operating in Ukraine as an effective state service for over 10 years.
The implementation of this law will help provide thousands of orphans and children deprived of parental care with real access to justice and protection of their rights, which is an integral part of the rule of law and Ukraine's obligations to its citizens.
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted a resolution on the Procedure for transmitting the results of real-time emission monitoring.
The new mechanism provides that facility operators will transmit data obtained from automated measurement systems directly to the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine and the State Ecological Inspectorate. This applies to:
- operators of installations operating under integrated environmental permits and required to install emission monitoring equipment,
- plant operators who have implemented such systems voluntarily.
Operators must register automated measurement systems and measuring equipment in electronic form through the Unified Environmental Platform "EcoSystem". And the transmission of emission monitoring results in real time is carried out automatically through the application programming interface of the Ministry of Economy, which is integrated into the "EcoSystem".
This will help improve the environmental control system and fulfill Ukraine's international obligations; minimize business risks related to misunderstandings with regulatory authorities, increase transparency and reputation of enterprises, and provide free access to environmental information on the level of industrial emissions for citizens.
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has adopted a number of decisions on the protection of children's rights. In particular, it launched the "Family Home" project for orphans and children deprived of parental care, which will operate in 12 regions of Ukraine, co-financed by the state and communities. It also began implementing the principle "money follows the child." In particular, the Government increased payments to foster parents and adoptive parents in family-type orphanages and foster families.
In addition, support for children returned from occupation or forced deportation by Russia has been expanded. Now, not only children under 18 years of age will be entitled to assistance in the amount of UAH 50,000, but also young people aged 18-23 who were minors at the time of deportation. From now on, orphans and children deprived of parental care aged 18-23 will be able to receive free secondary legal aid.
The standardization of the use of electronic medical reports on the health status of adoptive parents has begun: a unified procedure for medical examinations has been approved for everyone who wants to adopt a child, having adopted a corresponding resolution, and it has also been proposed to introduce electronic medical reports for adoption (for this purpose, a draft Law to amend the Civil Procedure Code was approved and submitted to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine).
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has adopted a resolution that introduces a list of mandatory administrative services in centers of administrative services. This improves the interaction of citizens with the state: Ukrainians receive more quality services, and administrators and central government bodies receive clear instructions on how to implement and provide them.
Previously, the list of mandatory services for CASs was determined by an order. It contained over 400 services without systematization. Now the list is gaining greater legal status - together with the regional military administrations, CASs and experts, a resolution was developed that applies to all bodies and ensures that citizens have equal access to services.
The updated list includes 373 services in 18 categories: from business and real estate registration to veteran services and social protection. In particular, tax and pension services, such as issuing a taxpayer card, have become mandatory. The Ministry of Digital Affairs will be responsible for the implementation and quality control of these services.
Mandatory services for CASs have also been defined, taking into account the following features:
- 360 services – for CASs in relatively safe areas and an additional 13 for centers that have special equipment .
- 245 – for CASs in frontline regions, subject to staff availability.
- 118 – for territorial divisions and remote workplaces.
Digital information cards have been developed for all services so that administrators can work according to clear instructions and provide better services. Soon, all information will appear on the Public Services Guide, where everyone can check whether everything is working as it should.
The document also obliges authorities and CASs coordinators to update information cards, train administrators, provide equipment, and establish effective interaction between institutions.
A single list of mandatory services, together with digital tools, significantly simplifies the lives of citizens. Less bureaucracy, faster access to services, and transparency - everything has been done to make receiving services easy and clear.
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has supported the initiative of the Ministry of Health and the State Service for Medicines and Drug Control, which simplifies the mechanism for selling medicines at medical aid stations and improves access to medicines in remote settlements.
Now, the requirement in the License Terms to dispense drugs according to the outdated minimum list, mandatory for paramedical and obstetric stations, which has been in effect since 2005, is cancelled.
The supply of medicines to paramedical and obstetric stations will be determined not by a formal list, but by the real needs of the community.
This is deregulation that removes unnecessary barriers to business, makes the system more flexible, and gives patients in rural areas better access to necessary medications.
The current mechanism provides that a pharmacy licensed to retail medicines enters into an agreement with a healthcare institution (paramedical and obstetric stations, village or district hospital, outpatient clinic). Medical workers collect orders from patients and transfer them to the pharmacy, which brings the necessary drugs to the paramedical and obstetric stations. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the paramedical and obstetric station sells these medicines to residents of the community. Today, 755 mediacal aid stations, and paramedical and obstetric stations, 590 village and district hospitals and outpatient clinics, as well as 49 medical centers already have such agreements.
Thus, deregulation allows communities to form orders based on the real needs of patients, and people in rural areas to receive the necessary medicines faster and more conveniently.
