This Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine provides clarifications to the procedure for the disposal of military property, specifically the housing stock. It establishes a legal mechanism for the transfer of ownership of housing, which is under the usufructuary use of military units, to military personnel, discharged persons, and their family members. This decision is aimed at implementing social guarantees for persons entitled to receive housing free of charge in accordance with current legislation and the status of Hero of Ukraine.
Structurally, the document consists of a preamble and a direct amendment to item 3 of Regulation No. 1225. The primary change consists of supplementing the list of military property objects that may be alienated with a specific category of residential premises (apartments or houses) that are under the usufructuary use of military units. Compared to the previous version, this provision clearly reinforces the possibility of privatization (free-of-charge receipt) of housing that previously had a limited legal regime of use by military units.
The most important aspect for practical application is that the resolution creates a direct legal basis for the privatization of housing that previously could have been considered non-alienable due to the specifics of the right of usufruct. Now, military personnel and persons who have relevant benefits (in particular, Heroes of Ukraine) may claim the registration of ownership rights to such objects. This significantly simplifies the procedure for exercising the right to housing for the indicated categories of citizens, eliminating the legal conflict between the status of the property and the social obligations of the state.
