Review of Ukrainian legislation for 18/06/2026

Digest of Legislative Acts

Decree of the President of Ukraine on amendments to the Regulation on Military Service in the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (SBGS)
This document aligns the rules for the discharge of border guards with the requirements of general military service legislation. A mechanism for discharge by mutual agreement has been introduced, which is available to SBGS intelligence officers during peacetime and the special period; however, it does not apply during martial law. Furthermore, the list of grounds for enrolling certain categories of discharged intelligence officers into the reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been clarified to eliminate legal uncertainty.

CMU Resolution No. 766 (National Carbon Registry)
The Government is launching an experimental project to implement the Paris Agreement, creating a system for accounting and international trading of carbon units. Owners of climate projects will be required to register them in the “Diia.Engine” system and retain at least 2% of the units for the benefit of the state to achieve national environmental goals. Each carbon unit is assigned a unique identifier, which guarantees the transparency of investments and precludes double counting of emissions.

CMU Resolution No. 765 (Technical Regulation of Agricultural Machinery)
The Cabinet of Ministers has postponed the transition of agricultural machinery manufacturers and importers to new European technical standards. The validity of transitional provisions allowing the use of previous certification procedures has been extended until December 31, 2027. The full mandatory application of the updated requirements will commence on January 1, 2028.

CMU Resolution on Reforming the Response System to Violations in Penitentiary Institutions
The document updates the operation of the Commission for the Review of Complaints in Penal Institutions, excluding correctional centers from its scope of activity. A clear priority for administrative actions upon the discovery of violations of detention conditions has been introduced, and a schedule for mandatory public reporting has been established. The Commission is now required to submit an annual report by February 1 to increase the transparency of oversight regarding prisoners’ rights.

CMU Resolution No. 763 (Competitive Selection of Scientific and Technical Developments)
The Government has approved a digitized procedure for state procurement of scientific research, where all stages of application submission and evaluation occur through a National Electronic System. A two-level assessment system for developments has been introduced, as well as a mandatory tripartite agreement for the transfer of intellectual property to the state. This is intended to eliminate the problem of inefficient use of budget funds and ensure the implementation of scientific results in the real sector.

CMU Resolution No. 762 (State Support for Agricultural Producers)
The resolution introduces automated verification of the absence of tax debt through direct integration with State Tax Service registries, relieving farmers of paper reporting. It is established that related parties within a single corporate group will be considered a single producer when receiving subsidies to prevent artificial business fragmentation. Reserve communication channels via the “Trembita” system have also been secured to ensure the continuity of payments in the event of technical failures.

CMU Resolution No. 755 (Administration of Confidential Communications)
The document unifies terminology regarding the National Confidential Communication System and clarifies the procedure for Internet access via state-protected channels. It is established that the quality of services is determined exclusively by the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection, which is also tasked with the duties of the system operator. The resolution clearly demarcates responsibility for information protection between operators and service consumers.

CMU Resolution on Water Monitoring
The Government has expanded the list of substances for state water monitoring by adding emerging contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals and components of sunscreen products, in accordance with EU standards. Laboratories are required to adhere to strict analytical methods during 12-month sampling cycles. The new requirements will become mandatory as of January 1, 2029.

CMU Resolution on Amendments to the State Medical Guarantees Program
The document cancels regulatory changes planned for July 2026, which effectively optimizes the rules for hospital financing in the current year. The list of mandatory requirements and procedures previously established in the Program has been reduced. The changes apply retroactively—from the beginning of 2026—simplifying reporting for healthcare providers.

CMU Resolution on the Disposal of Military Property
A legal mechanism has been established for the privatization (transfer of ownership free of charge) of housing that was previously used by military units under the right of usufruct. This decision allows veterans, discharged service members, and Heroes of Ukraine to exercise their right to receive real estate. The act removes a former legal conflict that hindered the alienation of such specific property.

CMU Resolution No. 748 (Social Protection for Victims at Critical Infrastructure Facilities)
The Government has expanded the circle of persons entitled to assistance in connection with injuries or death resulting from RF aggression, including employees of branches of critical infrastructure operators. A mechanism for reviewing previously rejected applications has been introduced, as well as the payment of the difference upon a change in disability group. The period for submitting documents is now valid for the duration of martial law and three years after its termination.

CMU Resolution No. 747 (Risk Assessment in Heat Supply)
The State Energy Supervision has received an autonomous inspection system for heat supply companies, separate from the power sector. The frequency of scheduled inspections now depends on the sum of points assigned based on accident rates and the history of violations, and may vary from two to five years. An incentive provision has been introduced: for enterprises that avoid significant violations, the period between inspections is increased by 50%.

CMU Resolution No. 746 (Support for Internally Displaced Persons)
The category of social service recipients has been expanded to include persons who have evacuated but do not yet hold official IDP status. Clear tariffs have been established for daily shelter and medical care services for persons with limited mobility. All services are now recorded through the Unified Information System of the Social Sphere using individual planning (“case management”).

CMU Resolution No. 745 (Public Consultations on GMOs)
A mandatory procedure for public discussion of GMO trials in an open system via the Ministry of Economy website has been introduced. Business entities must provide a summary of research, and citizens have the right to submit their comments within 15 days. The Ministry of Economy is required to publish a summary report justifying the consideration or rejection of public proposals.

Review of each of legal acts published today:

On the Accounting Price of Bank Metals

This document is an official notification of the National Bank of Ukraine regarding the establishment of accounting prices for bank metals (gold, silver, platinum, and palladium) as of June 17, 2026. These figures are calculated per one troy ounce and serve as a reference tool for valuing precious metals in the national currency. It is important to understand that these prices are not binding quotes for the purchase or sale of metals by the regulator itself.

The structure of the notification is presented in the form of a table containing digital and alphabetic currency codes (in accordance with the international standard ISO 4217), the names of the metals, and their value in hryvnia. This is the standard reporting format of the NBU, which ensures the transparency of market data. Compared to previous similar notifications, the changes concern exclusively the current numerical price values, reflecting the dynamics of world markets on the specified date.

For practical use, it is key that the accounting price is indicative and is used for accounting, taxation, and asset valuation in the banking system. The legal note in the document clearly distinguishes the informational function of this data from the NBU’s obligations to conduct metal transactions at the indicated rates. This means that for real commercial transactions, business entities must rely on market quotes rather than this reference indicator.

On the Official Hryvnia Exchange Rate Against Foreign Currencies

This notification of the National Bank of Ukraine is an official regulatory-informational act establishing the exchange rates of foreign currencies against the hryvnia as of June 17, 2026. The document records the value of 41 foreign currencies and Special Drawing Rights (SDR) for the purposes of accounting and settlements with the State Treasury Service of Ukraine. These rates are for reference only and do not create any obligations for the NBU to conduct foreign currency purchase and sale transactions at these prices.

**Structure and features:**
The document is presented in the form of a table containing the digital and alphabetic currency codes, the number of currency units, its name, and the official rate. This is the standard reporting form of the NBU, which is based on the methodology for calculating the official exchange rate defined by the regulator’s internal regulations. Compared to previous versions, the structure remains unchanged, however, the rate figures themselves are updated daily in accordance with the situation on the interbank foreign exchange market and the mechanisms established by NBU Board Resolution No. 148.

**Key provisions:**
1. **Functional purpose:** The rates are intended exclusivelyfor accounting and transaction processing between the NBU and the State Treasury Service of Ukraine (STSU).

2. **No Guarantees:** It is important to understand that this list does not constitute an offer — the NBU assumes no obligation to perform foreign exchange operations at the indicated quotations.

3. **Regulatory Framework:** This document is part of the foreign exchange regulation system, which ensures a uniform standard for the valuation of assets and liabilities in foreign currency for state institutions and business entities.

On Amendments to the Regulations on Military Service by Citizens of Ukraine in the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine

This Decree introduces amendments to the Regulations on Military Service in the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (SBGS), adapting discharge procedures to the requirements of the Law of Ukraine “On Military Duty and Military Service.” The document clearly regulates the authority of the command regarding the discharge of military personnel and introduces special provisions for personnel of the intelligence agencies of the SBGS. A key innovation is the possibility of terminating a contract by mutual agreement for intelligence officers during peacetime and special periods, with the exception of mobilization and martial law. The procedure for enrollment in the reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for specific categories of discharged intelligence officers has also been standardized.

**Structure and Main Provisions:**
The Decree consists of five points of amendments to the current Regulations (No. 1115/2009).
* **Points 1 and 3:** Update the lists of grounds for the discharge of contract military personnel and career officers, bringing them into compliance with the current versions of Article 26 of the Law “On Military Duty and Military Service.”
* **Points 2 and 4:** Supplement the Regulations with new points (267-1 and 268-1) allowing for discharge by mutual agreement for personnel of the intelligence agency of the SBGS Administration.
* **Point 5:** Introduces technical amendments to point 304, defining the mechanism for enrolling intelligence officers in the reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine upon discharge on certain grounds.

**Key Provisions:**
1. **Discharge by Mutual Agreement:** A mechanism for discharge by mutual agreement has been introduced for SBGS intelligence officers (in accordance with the Law “On Intelligence”), which is valid in peacetime and during a special period, but does not apply to mobilization and martial law.
2. **Updating Grounds:** The SBGS command has received a clearly defined list of grounds for discharge that complies with current legislative requirements, which minimizes legal uncertainty when making personnel decisions.
3. **Enrollment in the Reserve:** It is clearly defined that intelligence officers discharged on grounds related to family circumstances or other valid reasons (in accordance with sub-points “l” of point 3, part 5 and “z” of point 3, part 6 of Art. 26 of the Law) are subject to enrollmentto the reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

On the Implementation of an Experimental Project regarding the Fulfillment of Certain Provisions of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement

This Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 766 dated June 10, 2026, introduces a two-year experimental project for the implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Its primary objective is to establish a mechanism for the authorization, issuance, and transfer of mitigation outcomes (so-called “carbon units”). To this end, the Government is launching the National Carbon Registry, which will serve as the principal instrument for accounting for climate projects and their outcomes. The project will allow businesses to attract investment through the sale of greenhouse gas emission reduction units at the international level.

### Structure and Key Provisions
The Resolution consists of two key procedures:
1. **Procedure for the implementation of the experimental project:** defines the “rules of the game” for participants — from the registration of a climate project to the transfer of carbon units to the acquirer. It establishes procedures for validation (verification of a project at the inception stage) and verification (confirmation of achieved results).
2. **Procedure for maintaining the National Carbon Registry:** describes the technical aspect of the system. This is an information and communication system operating on the basis of the “Diia.Engine” platform, where all actions involving carbon units are recorded.

Compared to previous approaches, this act for the first time creates a clear state algorithm for the international trade in climate change mitigation outcomes, minimizing the risk of double counting of units.

### Most Important Provisions for Implementation
* **Authorization:** Climate activities and the issuance of units require an official decision by the Ministry of Economy. Without this, units cannot be transferred to the international level.
* **Contribution Requirement:** The owner of an object is obliged to retain no less than 2% of the issued units for the achievement of Ukraine’s national targets (this ensures that a portion of the environmental effect remains in the country).
* **Validation and Verification:** These procedures are conducted by independent accredited companies. The Resolution permits “virtual” verification only in exceptional cases (e.g., in territories where hostilities are taking place).
* **Uniqueness:** Each unit receives a unique identifier in the Registry, which makes fraud or the resale of the same outcome impossible.
* **Adjustment:** The State assumes the obligation to perform a “corresponding adjustment” of the emissions balance so that international partners may legally utilize Ukrainian carbon units for their own national targets.

On Amending the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine inof January 12, 2024, No. 28

This Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 765 introduces technical amendments to the implementation deadlines of the Technical Regulation on Type Approval for agricultural and forestry vehicles. The document effectively postpones the transition period for manufacturers and importers of machinery, extending the validity of previous requirements. The primary purpose of the amendments is to synchronize the implementation schedule of new technical standards with the current market capacity.

The structure of the act is concise and consists of three key amendments to Resolution No. 28 of January 12, 2024. The changes pertain exclusively to timeframes: instead of being linked to specific periods following the entry into force of the resolution, fixed calendar dates have been established. Compared to the previous version, the adaptation periods for new technical regulations have been extended until the end of 2027.

The most important provisions for businesses and regulatory authorities:
1. The validity of transitional provisions allowing the use of previous type-approval procedures for machinery has been extended until December 31, 2027.
2. A clear start date for the mandatory full application of new requirements has been set for January 1, 2028.
3. These changes alleviate pressure on business entities by providing additional time to bring technical documentation and production processes into compliance with the updated standards without the risk of halting certification.

On Amending the Regulation on the Commission for Reviewing Complaints Regarding Inadequate Conditions of Detention in Pre-trial Detention Centers and Penal Institutions

This Resolution introduces technical and procedural amendments to the Regulation on the Commission tasked with handling complaints regarding conditions of detention in penitentiary institutions. The document clarifies the list of institutions subject to the Regulation and details the mechanisms for administrative response to identified violations. It also establishes clear requirements for the Commission’s reporting to the public and authorized bodies.

**Structure and amendments:**
The Resolution consists of a list of amendments to the Regulation approved in 2024. Key changes include:
* Exclusion of “correctional centers” from the list of institutions subject to the Regulation.
* Establishment of a duty for the Commission to report publicly every six months and to submit an annual report by February 1.
* Updating the algorithm for administrative actions of an institution upon discovery of inadequate detention conditions.
* Introduction of new annexes (reporting forms and numbering of annexes).

**Important provisions:**
1. **Algorithm for remedying violations:** The administration now has a clear priority of actions: first, the transfer of the individual to another premise, and in the event that this is impossible, the submission of a request for transfer.transfer to another institution.
2. **Justification of decisions:** A request for transfer to another institution must now be accompanied by a reasoned conclusion and inspection materials confirming that the violations cannot be rectified on-site.
3. **Transparency:** A strict schedule for the Commission’s reporting has been established, which strengthens oversight of its activities by the Secretariat of the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights and the public.

On Approval of the Procedure for Conducting Competitive Selection of Scientific and Technical (Experimental) Developments within the Framework of Forming State Orders for Priority Scientific and Technical (Experimental) Developments and Scientific and Technical Products

This Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 763 dated June 10, 2026, approves a clear mechanism for the competitive selection of scientific and technical developments funded under state orders. The document defines the procedure for forming priority topics, conducting expert examination of applications, and subsequently implementing the obtained results in the real sector of the economy or the sphere of national security. The main goal is to make the process of allocating budget funds for science transparent, competitive, and oriented toward concrete applied results.

**Structure and main provisions:**
The Procedure consists of several logical blocks: from defining terminology and the powers of the parties to the stages of the competition, evaluation criteria, and the rules for transferring finished scientific and technical products to the customer. Compared to previous approaches, this document introduces a two-level evaluation system (expert examination + sections of the Scientific and Technical Council) and the mandatory use of the National Electronic Scientific and Information System. An important change is the strengthening of the role of “interested bodies” (ministries and agencies), which directly formulate technical specifications and participate in the acceptance of results.

**Key aspects for application:**
1. **Digitalization:** The entire process—from submission of the application to reporting—takes place exclusively through an electronic system using qualified electronic signatures.
2. **Selection criteria:** Key indicators include the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and the compliance of the development with priority state needs (security, defense, economic recovery).
3. **Conflict of interest:** Strict restrictions have been established for experts and council members, as well as a ban on participation in the competition for legal entities associated with the aggressor state or those having tax debts.
4. **Practical implementation:** The Resolution clearly regulates the mechanism for transferring rights to scientific and technical products to interested bodies through tripartite agreements, which allows for avoiding the stagnation of developments on theshelves” and ensures their actual use by the state.

This is an important tool for scientific institutions and businesses planning to work with state orders, as it requires high-quality preparation of documentation and a clear understanding of the final applied effect of the development.

On Amendments to the Procedure for the Use of Funds Provided in the State Budget for Providing Support to Farms and Other Agricultural Producers

This Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 762 dated June 10, 2026, introduces technical and procedural amendments to the mechanism for providing state financial support to agricultural producers. The main purpose of the amendments is to clarify the status of budget fund recipients who are related persons and to automate the process of verifying the absence of tax debt. The document ensures the transparency of aid distribution by strengthening electronic interaction between state registers.

**Structure and Main Provisions:**
The Resolution consists of two key blocks of amendments to Procedure No. 918:
1. **Definition of Entities:** It is established that related persons (in accordance with the Tax Code of Ukraine) shall be considered as a single agricultural producer when receiving support. This prevents the artificial splitting of businesses to obtain a larger volume of aid.
2. **Digitalization of Verifications:** The procedure for confirming the absence of tax debt has been changed. Now, this is carried out exclusively through automated electronic interaction with the State Tax Service. A mechanism for backup data transmission via the “Trembita” system or other secure information systems in case of technical failures is also provided.

**Most Important Provisions for Implementation:**
* **Antitrust Aspect:** For farms that are part of the same group of companies, it is important to consider that they will be evaluated as a single entity. This is critical for compliance with state aid limits.
* **Automation of Reporting:** The requirement regarding the absence of debt is now checked as of the 1st day of the month preceding the month of application submission. Due to direct integration with the State Tax Service, applicants no longer need to collect paper certificates themselves, provided the system is functioning correctly.
* **Technical Resilience:** A legal possibility for using alternative secure communication channels is established if the main “Trembita” system is temporarily unavailable, which guarantees the continuity of the subsidy receipt process.

On Approval of the Technical Regulation on In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices

On amending Appendix 1 to the Procedure and conditions for the provision of a subvention from the state budget to local budgets for the implementation of projects under the Ukraine Recovery Emergency Credit Program
On amending the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 742 dated July 21, 2021
On amending the Procedure for the provision of confidential communication services to public authorities and local self-government bodies, state-owned enterprises, institutions and organizations

This Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 755 of June 10, 2026, introduces technical and terminological amendments to the Procedure for the provision of confidential communication services. The document updates the conceptual framework, in particular, it clarifies the definitions of a subscriber and secure access to the Internet via the National Confidential Communication System (NCCS). The amendments are aimed at bringing the regulatory framework into compliance with modern standards of administration and technical support for secure communication.

**Structure and main amendments:**
The Resolution consists of a list of specific amendments to the clauses of the current Procedure No. 1519. Key changes include:
* Unification of terminology: “subscriber” is now used instead of “consumer”, and “terminal equipment” is used instead of “end equipment”.
* Clarification of the subject composition: the role of the State Special Communications Service Administration as the regulator and operator of the system is clearly defined.
* Change of focus: the emphasis has shifted from the use of NCCS “resources” to the use of its “components”, which reflects the current technical architecture of the system.

**Most important provisions:**
1. **Updated definitions:** It is clearly established that secure access to the Internet is carried out exclusively through NCCS components, which is critical for the security of government communications.
2. **Quality of services:** It is established that the quality levels of confidential communication services are determined exclusively by the State Special Communications Service Administration.
3. **Responsibility for protection:** Clause 5 now directly imposes the duty to ensure information protection on operators, who are obliged to take measures in accordance with the relevant legislation.
4. **Institutional certainty:** Throughout the clauses of the Procedure, the name of the authority has been brought to a single standard — “State Special Communications Service Administration”, which eliminates ambiguity in law enforcement.

On amending the Procedure for conducting state water monitoring

This Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine introduces amendments to the Procedure for conducting state water monitoring, introducing the ob-mandatory monitoring of the substances included in the European Union’s “watch list.” The document establishes clear technical requirements for the analysis of surface waters for the presence of specific chemical compounds, including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and components of sunscreen products. These amendments are aimed at harmonizing Ukrainian environmental standards with European norms. The Resolution shall enter into force on January 1, 2029.

**Structure and Main Provisions:**
The Resolution consists of two items of the normative part and an Annex, which effectively expands the technical monitoring framework. The main changes consist of supplementing items 9 and 13 of the Procedure, which regulate the objects and procedures of state water monitoring, by including substances from the EU watch list therein. A key innovation is Annex 4, which details the list of specific substances, the methods for their detection, and the limit of quantification. Compared to previous versions, this act introduces for the first time such a detailed list of emerging pollutants subject to systematic tracking.

**Important Provisions for Implementation:**
1. **Technical Requirements for Monitoring:** It is established that the monitoring of each substance from the list must last for at least 12 months with a sampling frequency of no less than twice a year.
2. **Representativeness:** For each substance, at least 20 representative monitoring points must be determined, taking into account the sources of their entry into the water.
3. **Methodology:** Annex 4 clearly defines “indicative analytical methods” (e.g., SPE-LC-MS/MS) and the maximum permissible limits of quantification for each substance, which is mandatory for laboratories.
4. **Conditions for Exemption from Monitoring:** Termination of monitoring of a specific substance is permitted if there are already sufficient, representative, and current data obtained using the established methods.

*Note: This act relates to environmental legislation and water quality standards, which are part of the regulatory framework affecting industrial and municipal enterprises.*

On Amending the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated December 31, 2025, No. 1808

This Resolution introduces technical and substantive adjustments to the procedure for implementing the program of state medical guarantees for 2026. The document cancels the postponement of the application of certain provisions that were to enter into force on July 1, and also excludes a number of paragraphs from the text of the main Procedure. Thus, the government is optimizing the rules for financing and providing medical services in the current year.

Structurally, the act consists of two items: the direct introduction of amendments to Resolution No. 1808 and the determination of the effective dates. The main chconsists in the exclusion of a significant volume of provisions (paragraphs 48–69 and 71–81 of clause 7 of the Procedure), which effectively changes the algorithm for the administration of medical guarantees. Compared to the previous version, these amendments repeal the effect of certain regulatory mechanisms that were planned to be introduced in the summer of 2026.

For practical use, the following provisions are the most important:
1. Cancellation of the deferral: a rule that was supposed to take effect on July 1 is now applied from January 1, 2026 (retroactive effect).
2. Reduction of regulation: the exclusion of a large number of paragraphs means that the corresponding requirements or procedures described therein are no longer mandatory or in force within the framework of the program of medical guarantees.
3. Retroactivity: despite the fact that the resolution was adopted in June, it applies to legal relations that arose from the beginning of 2026.

On Amending Clause 3 of the Regulation on the Procedure for Accounting, Storage, Write-off, and Use of Military Property in the Armed Forces

This resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine introduces clarifications to the procedure for the disposal of military property, namely, the housing stock. It establishes a legal mechanism for the transfer of ownership to military personnel, discharged persons, and their family members of housing that is held in the use of military units under the right of usufruct. This decision is aimed at implementing social guarantees for persons who have the right 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 clause 3 of Regulation No. 1225. The main change consists in supplementing the list of items of military property that can be alienated with a specific category of residential premises (apartments or houses) that are held in the use of units under the right of usufruct. Compared to the previous version, this provision clearly establishes the possibility of privatization (free 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 could previously be considered as not subject to alienation due to the specifics of the right of usufruct. Now, military personnel and persons who have corresponding benefits (in particular, Heroes of Ukraine) can claim the registration of ownership rights to such objects. This significantly simplifies the procedure for exercising the right to housing for the specified categories of citizens, eliminating the legal conflict between the status of the property and the state’s social obligations.

On Amending the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine datedDecember 27, 2023, No. 1396

This Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 748 dated June 10, 2026, introduces significant amendments to the social protection mechanism for persons who have suffered as a result of the military aggression of the Russian Federation while working at critical infrastructure facilities, or who are civil servants or local government officials. The primary objective of the document is to expand the scope of aid recipients, clarify the procedure for submitting documents, and provide an opportunity for the Pension Fund to review previously rejected applications. The Resolution also extends the deadlines for applying for payments and details the requirements for confirming the status of critical infrastructure facilities.

### Structure and Main Changes
The act consists of two parts: the dispositive part (directives to the Pension Fund regarding the review of cases) and the amendments to the Procedure for the Appointment and Payment of Aid.
* **Expansion of the Subject Scope:** The aid now extends not only to employees of the facilities themselves but also to employees of critical infrastructure operators, their branches, and representative offices.
* **Procedural Changes:** The application form, the list of required documents (in particular, the requirement for a criminal record certificate and accident investigation reports has been added), and the procedure for certifying personal instructions have been updated.
* **Review of Decisions:** The Pension Fund is required to review rejections previously issued due to the expiration of the three-year period or the absence of the facility in the Register at the time of the incident, provided that such facilities were included in the Register subsequently.

### Key Provisions for Practical Use
1. **Extension of Deadlines:** The right to apply for aid is now maintained throughout the entire period of martial law and for three years after its termination or cancellation.
2. **Payment of the Difference:** A mechanism for paying the difference has been introduced if, after the initial disability assessment, a person was assigned a higher disability group in connection with the same injury or illness.
3. **Confirmation of Status:** To receive payment, the facility must be included in the Register of Critical Infrastructure Facilities. The Resolution clearly establishes that the Pension Fund verifies this fact by submitting a request to the relevant authority in the field of critical infrastructure protection.
4. **Protection of Heirs’ Rights:** The circle of persons eligible for aid in the event of an employee’s death has been clarified, specifically regarding incapacitated children (up to 23 years of age if they are studying) and widows/widowers, regardless of the content of the deceased’s personal instructions.
5. **Stay of Proceedings:** The authorized body now has a clear algorithm of actions in the event of incomplete documents — the application is not rejected immediately but is left without movement, granting the applicant the opportunity to rectify the deficiencies.

### On the approval of
