The draft state budget for 2026 provides for the indexation of pensions and an increase in the minimum wage to UAH 8,647.
Member of Parliament from the Holos faction Yaroslav Zhelezniak has announced this on his Telegram channel, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
"The government plans to index pensions for 10.3 million pensioners from March 1, 2026. UAH 251.3 billion is a transfer to the Pension Fund," he wrote.
At the same time, the MP also clarified that the minimum wage from January 1, 2026 is planned to be UAH 8,647.
In addition, he noted that their financing is not provided for in the 2026 budget in the CEC budget.
