Security, Economy, and Eurointegration Among the Main Goals
Among the government’s top priorities is strengthening defense capabilities. Half of the state budget is planned to be allocated to support Ukrainian arms manufacturers, as well as the creation of Defence City and the launch of joint productions with leading international companies. An important part of the program is also the acceleration of eurointegration: by the end of 2025, Ukraine is preparing to start negotiations on EU membership within the framework of six clusters.
In the area of combating corruption, the government announced a large-scale update of the work of the Bureau of Economic Security, ARMA, and the Customs Service, as well as the implementation of modern digital services – e-Notary, e-Court, and CNAP 2.0. A significant emphasis is placed on social protection: compensation for destroyed housing, modernization of the pension system, and expansion of social services are planned. To support frontline regions, 75 billion hryvnias are earmarked, and the childbirth assistance will be increased for 180,000 Ukrainian families.
Support for Business, Reforms, and Reconstruction
In the macro-financial sector, Ukraine has confirmed support from international partners totaling 37.4 billion dollars for 2026-2027, and also plans to launch a new IMF program. The government aims to attract over 5 billion euros for business development by the end of 2026, particularly through the first project of the American-Ukrainian Reconstruction Fund worth 100 million dollars. To support the “Made in Ukraine” policy, 55 billion hryvnias will be allocated. Businesses are promised a five-year moratorium on inspections and extensive deregulation, as well as an expectation of over 12 billion hryvnias from privatization. Additionally, the launch of the Grain Ukraine and Food from Ukraine agri-hubs is planned.
The reconstruction of the country will encompass housing, energy, and infrastructure sectors. A Recovery Fund will be established, a comprehensive reconstruction plan will be developed, and the “RecoveryHome” program will be initiated. Specific initiatives are aimed at bringing Ukrainians back from abroad, providing them with housing, jobs, and social support. The government is also preparing a mechanism for multiple citizenship.
“The government has identified 12 strategic initiatives, including security, eurointegration, combating corruption, macro-financial stability, business support, national reconstruction, and social protection for the population.”
