Update on the Social and Professional Adaptation of Veterans (CMU Resolution on Amendments to Procedure No. 432)
The Government has significantly expanded opportunities for the training and education of veterans and their family members at public expense, in particular, by permitting the acquisition of a second Master’s degree or postgraduate/academic level of education, as well as business management training. Clear financial limits have been established for such services, for example, up to 10 subsistence minimums for entrepreneurship courses. The procedure for submitting documents has also been simplified: it is now possible to apply to any employment center or send an application by email, and in case of errors, the social protection authority will not immediately reject the application, but will provide time for their rectification.
New List of Standardization Entities in Construction (CMU Resolution)
The Cabinet of Ministers has approved an updated state list of agencies authorized to establish building codes, clearly delineating their spheres of responsibility. From now on, the Ministry of Development is responsible for general civil and road construction, the Ministry of Defense defines standards for military facilities, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs controls requirements for fire safety and civil protection. This distribution eliminates the overlapping of powers and allows interested entities to clearly understand under whose specific jurisdiction the design of any specific facility falls.
Abolition of Performance Standards for Pumping Stations (CMU Resolution)
The Government has repealed its previous Resolution No. 974, abolishing the mandatory requirements for the performance levels of pumping stations transferred to the ownership of water user organizations. From now on, the process of transferring reclamation property to farmers will take place without the need to comply with or monitor these previously established technical indicators. This significantly simplifies the legal regulation in the field of water use and land reclamation.
Reform of Councils on Internally Displaced Persons (CMU Resolution)
This document makes the creation of IDP Councils mandatory in hromadas where the number of displaced persons exceeds 3% of the total population or upon the corresponding initiative of the displaced persons themselves. The updated rules oblige local authorities to consider the recommendations of these councils, depriving them of their former purely formal status. A two-year term of office for council members has also been established, clear criteria for selecting candidates have been introduced, and regional administrations have been obliged to report quarterly on their work.
Abolition of Obsolete Educational Standards and Regulations (CMU Resolution)
The Government has fully repealed two obsolete resolutions: on the staff list of kindergartens dated 2009 and the state standard of primary education for children with special educational needs dated 2013. This step eliminates outdated regulation, which has already been replaced by new standards and rules within the framework of inclusive education. Heads of institutions and lawyers must now be guided exclusively by modern primary education standards and current staffing rules.

### 3. Most Important Provisions for Practical Use
For veterans and lawyers working with this act, the following practical aspects are key:
1. **Flexibility of application submission:** An application for adaptation can be submitted in person (in paper form) or remotely (by email).

### 3. Key Provisions Important for Practical Use
For the practical activities of developers, designers, and lawyers in the field of urban planning, the established distribution of competences is of key importance:

—
**3. Key provisions of the act that are most important for its practical application**
For the practical activities of authorities, human rights defenders, and the displaced persons themselves, the following innovations are key:
* **Three-percent threshold and initiative:** Local self-government bodies and military administrations of settlements are obliged to establish a council if demanded by the IDPs themselves (whose residence is confirmed by certificates) or if the share of displaced persons in the community exceeds 3% of the total population.
* **Mandatory consideration of decisions:** Proposals and recommendations of the Council on IDP Issues are now subject to mandatory consideration by the body under which it was established. This deprives the councils of the status of a purely “formal” body.
* **New tools for collecting information:** Councils are officially permitted to conduct focus groups, surveys, and involve public and charitable organizations to study the needs of IDPs for the purpose of further development of support programs.
* **Candidate selection criteria:** When forming the composition of the council, not only the willingness to work but also the existence of implemented projects in the field of IDP protection, as well as the completion of specialized training (confirmed by certificates or diplomas), will be assessed. Representatives of relocated businesses may also be included in the councils.
* **Continuity of activity:** If the new composition of the council is not formed in time, the previous composition continues to exercise its powers until the approval of the new one, but for no more than 60 calendar days, which prevents the blocking of the body’s work.
On Recognizing as Having Lost Force the Resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 1122 of October 5, 2009, and No. 607 of August 21, 2013
**1. Essence of the Act**
This Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine is a regulatory act aimed at updating the regulatory framework in the field of education. DocThe document repeals two outdated government resolutions that regulated the staffing table of kindergartens and approved the state standard of primary education for children with special educational needs.

**2. Structure of the Act, Main Provisions and Changes**
The structure of this document is as concise as possible and consists of a single enacting clause containing a list of two items. The main change compared to the previous state of legal regulation consists in the complete repeal of:

* Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of August 21, 2013 No. 607 “On Approval of the State Standard of Primary General Education for Children with Special Educational Needs”.
This document does not directly introduce any new rules or replacing provisions; it merely records that the specified acts have ceased to have effect.
**3. Main Provisions Important for Practical Application**
For practical application, the key factor is the very fact of the repeal of these documents, which directly affects the operation of education management bodies and educational institutions:
* **For preschool education:** Heads of kindergartens and accountants no longer need to be guided by Resolution No. 1122 when drawing up or adjusting staffing tables.
* **For special and inclusive education:** The repeal of the 2013 State Standard (Resolution No. 607) means that in practical activities, it is necessary to rely exclusively on the current state standards of primary education currently in force.
It is important for lawyers, heads of educational institutions, and methodologists to take these changes into account to avoid referring to invalid legislation when preparing internal documents and organizing the educational process.
