Since Russian strikes on Ukrainian gas infrastructure, Ukraine will need to import more gas for the heating season from Europe. The government aims to direct at least 50 percent of budget spend on arms toward local technologies.
The Ukrainian business environment will see a five-year moratorium on inspections. The plan includes readiness to open all six EU accession clusters. The cultural policy focuses on preserving heritage, creating digital archives of monuments and artifacts, and fostering creative industries. The strategy also includes strengthening Ukraine's defence capability and expanding domestic weapons production.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Finance aims to secure $37 billion in support for 2026-2027. Around 300,000 more Ukrainians left the country in 2024 due to war. The healthcare and sports policy reforms include early detection programs for chronic diseases, modernization of medical infrastructure, development of rehabilitation and prosthetics, and better staffing in rural and frontline regions.
A clear majority in the Ukrainian parliament elected Yulia Svyrydenko as the country's new prime minister on July 17. The government plans faster privatization, new investment funds with US and EU participation, and incentives for production, exports, and deregulation. In education and science, the government will reform the teacher pay system, provide free school meals, improve access to in-person and online education, and overhaul job-specific practical skills training and research funding.
