The Parliament has temporarily exempted from VAT transactions on the supply of land-based unmanned systems within the customs territory of Ukraine. This exemption applies to specific product groups under the UKT ZED (Ukrainian Classification of Goods for Foreign Economic Activity) (specifically, codes 84, 85, 87, 90, 93) and is applicable exclusively on the condition of supply under state defense contracts or if the final recipient is designated defense entities. The amendment is drafted as a new paragraph 99-1 in the Transitional Provisions of the Tax Code of Ukraine, replacing the general procedure for taxing such goods. The document shall enter into force on the day following the day of its publication, and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has a one-month period to bring its regulatory acts into compliance.<\/p>\n
This Law ratifies the Loan Agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding with the European Union, which were signed in May 2026 to attract macro-financial assistance. The document legally establishes the status of Ukraine as the Borrower, the National Bank of Ukraine as its Financial Agent, and the European Union as the Lender. The ratification itself integrates these international agreements, including the conditions for providing funds and the list of reforms for each tranche, into the national legislative framework. However, the actual commencement of the agreements will occur only after the European party receives official diplomatic notification regarding the completion of all internal procedures by Ukraine.<\/p>\n
The Verkhovna Rada adopted in the first reading Draft Law No. 15094, which lays the foundation for reforming the social support system in Ukraine. This resolution is a purely procedural step that transitions the document into the status of a concept adopted as a basis and initiates preparation for the second reading. Currently, all further work on the text of the draft law, including the collection and analysis of proposals and amendments from the subjects of legislative initiative, is officially transferred to the venue of the specialized Committee on Social Policy and Protection of Veterans’ Rights.<\/p>\n
The Parliament adopted Resolution No. 4889-IX, thereby expanding the agenda of the current fifteenth session by 9 new draft laws. The consideration list officially included a package of budget amendments concerning the financing of the security and defense sector, VAT exemption for land-based robotic systems, as well as the draft law on basic social assistance. Placing these documents on the agenda is a mandatory procedural prerequisite, without which the specialized committees and people’s deputies had no legal right to proceed to their consideration in the session hall. The Resolution entered into force immediately upon its adoption.<\/p>\n
Members of Parliament supported in the first reading Government Draft Law No. 15015, which amends Article 70 of the Fundamentals of the Legislation of Ukraine on Healthcare regarding the conduct of military medical examination. The main feature of this resolution lies in the significant acceleration of the procedure: the time limit for submitting amendments and proposals for the second reading has been reduced by half \u2014 to 7 days instead of the standard 14. The final refinement of the text and the compilation of the comparative table will be handled by the specialized Committee on National Health, Medical Care and Health Insurance.<\/p>\n
