Ukraine’s PM Svyrydenko unveils action plan for security, economy
Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko presented the action plan of the government, which began its work a month ago, according to a hromadske correspondent.
The program is divided into several key areas: security, human dignity, economy, and reconstruction.
Svyrydenko stated that the government plans to allocate half of its budget to Ukrainian-made armaments and military equipment. By mid-2026, officials aim to achieve results in joint weapons production projects with companies such as Rheinmetall, BAE Systems, Thales, KNDS, and Kongsberg D&A.
Additionally, the Ukrainian military’s corps system is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2026.
In terms of social welfare, Svyrydenko announced a review of social payments to enhance fairness. Specifically, 180,000 families will receive increased childbirth assistance. In 2025, 150,000 families, and in 2026, 320,000 families, will receive compensation for destroyed housing. Over 1,580 veterans and female veterans with disabilities will be provided housing purchase certificates.
The government also plans to allocate 25 billion hryvnias ($607 million) in 2025 and 50 billion hryvnias ($1.1 billion) in 2026 for the development of frontline regions.
Svyrydenko announced the introduction of a Code of Laws on Defenders of Ukraine’s Independence and Statehood in September.
The premier highlighted financing as a critical issue, with the government seeking $37.4 billion in macro-financial assistance over the next two years. Plans include generating 12 billion hryvnias ($291 million) from privatization in 2025–2026.
“There’s no need to fear privatization. The state is not the most effective manager, except for strategic assets,” Svyrydenko said.
She also announced an audit of expenditures and a new public debt strategy for 2026–2028. Svyrydenko noted discussions with the newly appointed head of the Economic Security Bureau on combating the shadow economy.
