Main Directions of the Government Program
Among the main directions of the government plan, a significant focus is placed on security and defense issues. The state intends to allocate 50% of the budget to support Ukrainian arms manufacturers, as well as to establish the Defence City industrial cluster and set up joint production with global companies.
In the area of European integration, negotiations for joining the European Union are planned to begin by the end of 2025 across six thematic clusters. To enhance the effectiveness of the fight against corruption, the government plans to reboot the work of the Bureau of Economic Security, ARMA, and the Customs Service, as well as implement digital services – e-Notary, e-Court, and CNAP 2.0.
Social Support, Reconstruction, and Investments
The program provides for systematic support for the welfare of the population: in particular, compensation for destroyed housing, reform of the pension system, and modernization of social services. A total of 75 billion hryvnias will be allocated for the development of frontline regions, and the assistance for childbirth will be increased for 180,000 families.
In the macro-financial sphere, Ukraine has received confirmation from international partners regarding the attraction of $37.4 billion in 2026-2027 and is counting on a new cooperation program with the IMF.
In economic policy, the government has outlined goals to attract over 5 billion euros in investments by the end of 2026, with the first project of the American-Ukrainian Reconstruction Fund estimated at $100 million. To support the “Made in Ukraine” policy, 55 billion hryvnias are planned to be allocated. Businesses are promised a five-year moratorium on inspections and significant simplification of regulations, as well as revenues of over 12 billion hryvnias from privatization and the launch of the Grain Ukraine and Food from Ukraine agri-hubs.
“The focus of reconstruction is on housing, energy, and infrastructure. A Recovery Fund will be created, a comprehensive reconstruction plan, the ‘RecoveryHome’ program, and special initiatives for the return of Ukrainians with housing, jobs, and social support. A mechanism for multiple citizenship is also planned.”
