The Government of Ukraine intends to move to a unified projected pension system, which will establish a direct connection between insurance contributions, the duration of their payment and the size of the pension. This is discussed in the draft Program of Activities of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, registered on the website of the Parliament (№14069).
The new model provides for the transformation of special pensions into professional pensions and the introduction of a mandatory accumulative pension system. It will complement the solidarity system, ensuring greater transparency and predictability of payments.
Legislative initiatives will be aimed at improving mechanisms for calculating pensions and accounting for pension rights. It is also planned to adopt a draft law on accumulative pension provision.
By the end of 2025, the government intends to submit a number of draft laws to the Verkhovna Rada, including a document on the accumulative pension system, amendments to the law “On mandatory state pension insurance” and draft laws on improving the accounting of pension rights and professional pension programs.
In addition, draft laws will be introduced regarding the payment of pensions and life support for retired judges. In 2026, the government plans to improve the mechanisms for calculating pensions. It is expected that the minimum pension for 5 million Ukrainians will be at least 4,000 hryvnias. Thus, the authorities aim to create a fairer and financially sustainable system that will stimulate official payment of contributions and reduce imbalances in pension provision.
