The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has made amendments to the Regulation on the procedure for assigning housing subsidies (CMU Resolution No. 663 of May 30, 2025).
The document simplifies the procedure for assigning subsidies for family-type orphanages, foster families, and large families with three or more children.
From now on, there will be no obstacle to the assignment of a housing subsidy for such families:
- purchase of housing or land;
- availability of funds on deposit;
- expenses for goods for children (clothing, food, household/computer equipment, etc.), if these expenses are made in the interests of the child and are supported by documents (checks, contracts, etc.).
Also, for family-type orphanages, large families, and foster families, the debt threshold that gives the right to receive a housing subsidy has been increased from UAH 680 to UAH 4,000.
In addition, a household that is a family-type children's home or a foster family will not include those who are registered or declared at the address but are not listed in the declaration. Their income and property will not be taken into account when determining eligibility for the subsidy.
At the same time, a household at the same residential address may include two or more family-type orphanages.
For households that include internally displaced persons, the subsidy for the new period is assigned automatically, provided that they have not changed their place of residence.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the proposals of the President of Ukraine to the Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine Regarding the Creation and Operation of the Unified State Register of Military Personnel and Improving the Procedure for Maintaining Military Records” and adopted the Law as a whole, taking them into account (reg. No. 12066).
The President drew attention to the fact that the legal, organizational and financial principles for the creation and functioning of public electronic registers are determined by the Law of Ukraine "On Public Electronic Registers". Therefore, the wording of Article 251 of the Law of Ukraine "On Military Duty and Military Service" proposed by the Law does not comply with the specified requirement, since its provisions determine only part of the mandatory information provided for in Part Two of Article 26 of the Law of Ukraine "On Public Electronic Registers".
The President of Ukraine noted that, according to the Law, the Register of Military Personnel will actually process data on all military personnel, including those serving in the intelligence agencies of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine, although currently information on the personnel of agencies carrying out operational-search or intelligence or counterintelligence activities is included in the Collection of Information Constituting a State Secret.
In addition, the provisions of the Law on processing data on all servicemen in the Register of Military Personnel actually provide that the relevant officials of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine will have access to information on servicemen of the intelligence agencies of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine, who have their own reserve and maintain separate personal and qualitative records of their conscripts and servicemen released from military service into reserve, which in turn contradicts the requirements of the laws of Ukraine "On Information", "On Access to Public Information", "On State Secrets", "On Intelligence", does not ensure the establishment and observance of the appropriate legal protection regime provided for by the legislation of Ukraine on intelligence and state secrets, creates real risks for the possibility of leakage of secret information regarding the personnel of the Security Service of Ukraine and intelligence agencies of Ukraine and, as a result, harm to the national security of Ukraine, as well as the state of security of counterintelligence and intelligence forces and means and the possibility of their carrying out relevant activities in the interests of ensuring the national security and defense of Ukraine.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted draft law No. 7508 in the second reading and as a whole, which simplifies the participation of private business in the recovery through the public-private partnership (PPP) mechanism. The document solves several problems at once — it simplifies bureaucratic procedures, provides financial guarantees for investors, and allows for faster project implementation .
The draft law provides for:
- implementation of an electronic trading system (ETS) for concession projects according to EU standards and procedures. Everything will be done online - from posting information about the competition announcement to publishing the concluded contract;
- new and improved guarantees for investors and creditors: the private partner will receive guarantees from the state of protection of its rights, stability of conditions and non-discriminatory treatment during the implementation of PPP projects. Changes in legislation will not affect the terms of already concluded contracts;
- new sources of funding: the concept of "donor" appears in the legislation - international partners who can provide financial support directly or through budgets. This approach significantly minimizes risks for private partners and makes projects more accessible to public partners;
- simplification of the procedure for preparing "small" projects: projects worth up to 5.5 million euros will be able to be implemented without developing a feasibility study, and the decision will be made only on the basis of a concept note. This approach will help communities develop faster by attracting private partners. They will be able to build both local roads and necessary social facilities in a short time;
- special regime for reconstruction projects: for the reconstruction of infrastructure destroyed by the war, a simplified mechanism for preparing PPP projects will operate, the procedure for which will be determined by the Government of Ukraine. This procedure will be in effect during martial law and for another 7 years after its end;
- "infrastructure in installments": the state will be able to pay for the implementation of infrastructure projects to a private partner with budget funds after the facility is put into operation. This approach will reduce the burden on budgets of various levels and allow for the implementation of a greater number of socially important projects even in conditions of limited funding;
- expanding the list of public partners: state-owned companies will be able to participate in PPP, which will allow attracting more investments;
- special procedures for housing construction projects: due to large-scale destruction and the need to provide people with new homes, special features for concluding PPP contracts for housing were provided.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine supported draft law No. 13134, which, among other things, provides for the following changes for mobilized individual entrepreneurs :
- Individual entrepreneurs - contract workers are also exempt from paying personal income tax, single tax, military duty and social security contributions;
- Tax office automatically receives data on military individuals and automatically applies the exemption. The 10-day limit for submitting documents has been canceled.
After demobilization there is:
- 150 days to submit reports without penalties;
- 180 days to pay taxes for employees — also without fines and penalties.
- The entire tax debt of military individuals is subject to cancellation.
- The tax authority is obliged to restore the registration of the single tax from the date of its cancellation (if canceled due to debt).
- If the tax office does not have information about an individual entrepreneur - a military person - you can submit an application. Without time limits and with the preservation of all rights.
These same rules are in the Law on the social security contributions.
The Verkhovna Rada Ukraine has passed in the second reading draft law No. 11469 on multiple citizenship. It will help millions of Ukrainians who were forced to leave during the full-scale war and earlier, maintain ties with their homeland, attract investments from abroad, and adapt Ukraine to European standards.
The main goal of the adopted draft law "On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine Regarding Ensuring the Implementation of the Right to Acquire and Preserve Ukrainian Citizenship" is to restore and preserve ties with Ukrainians around the world. The purpose of the draft is to counteract the demographic crisis, migration, and the challenges of war. This is a step towards preserving the Ukrainian nation and its integration into the European legal community.
The law introduces equal conditions for citizenship, in particular, through qualification requirements: knowledge of the language, history, the Constitution and respect for it, confirmation of ties to Ukraine.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted Law No. 13192 "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Improving the Procedure for Allocating Court Costs and Court Fees". The law is designed to make the court costs system more transparent and efficient. In particular, it is proposed to regulate the issue of adopting additional court decisions in written proceedings — without the mandatory summoning of the parties. This will avoid unnecessary burden on the judicial system, speed up the process and reduce the costs of the parties to the cases.
At the same time, a review of approaches to the amount of court fees is envisaged. In connection with the decision of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine on the inadmissibility of excessive rates for individuals, the draft law establishes the maximum amounts of court fees for filing appeals and cassation complaints. In cases of a social nature, these limits will be even lower. It is also possible to exempt a person from paying a court fee if it exceeds 5% of annual income. The Law of Ukraine "On Court Fees" has also been supplemented with provisions determining the rates of court fees in bankruptcy cases.
Purpose of the Law:
- ensure a balance between the interests of the state and citizens when determining court costs;
- guarantee the right to access to justice;
- simplify procedural mechanisms for courts and parties.
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, by its Resolution No. 696 of June 11, 2025, amended Resolution No. 332 of April 4, 2001, regarding the maximum amounts of expenses for the purchase of goods and services by government bodies and budget institutions.
From now on, the Treasury will not make payments if the limits are exceeded: the new wording of paragraph 1 clearly stipulates the norm: if the expenditure limits are exceeded, the State Treasury Service will not register liabilities and will not make payments.
The terms have also been expanded: instead of "special purpose" it is now "special, specialized purpose."
aA clarification has been made regarding mobile communication: now instead of "mobile phone maintenance" it says "payment for mobile communication services" - up to 1,500 UAH/month.
There have been changes to the marginal cost of equipment:
- the maximum cost of a personal computer or all-in-one computer is up to 50,000 UAH;
- the maximum cost of a laptop or tablet is up to 50,000 UAH (previously it was 27,000 UAH).
Position titles have been corrected: references to the National Commission for State Regulation of Financial Serevices, which has ceased to exist, have been removed.
The updated thresholds include VAT (this is now indicated separately in the column). The resolution is aimed at updating the cost of procurement taking into account market changes and ensuring budgetary discipline.
