Ukraine Begins Disbursing 1,500 UAH to Pensioners and Vulnerable Groups

Denis Ulyutin, Ukraine’s Minister of Social Policy, Family, and Unity, announced that Ukraine has begun disbursing 1,500 UAH in financial assistance to pensioners and vulnerable groups.

“Starting today, we are beginning payments of 1,500 UAH. The payment will be made as a one-time payment during April,” Ulyutin said during a national telethon on Tuesday.

The minister explained that as early as Monday, funds for this support were redirected to 540,000 pensioners who receive payments through “Ukrposhta.”

According to him, the funds will be transferred to card accounts as early as this week, and through Ukrposhta branches, the assistance will arrive along with the pension on the designated day.

Ulyutin also noted that these funds are not earmarked and can be used for any purpose without restrictions.

As reported, on March 18, the Cabinet of Ministers approved a program for a one-time payment of 1,500 UAH in April for pensioners and vulnerable groups.

It is noted that among the recipients of the supplement are: old-age pensioners, disability pensioners, recipients of survivor’s pensions, and pensioners for length of service who are eligible for an old-age pension (the pension amount must not exceed 25,595 hryvnias; however, for war veterans who have participated in the defense of Ukraine since 2014, and for individuals among the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident liquidators, 1,500 UAH will be provided regardless of the amount of the pension received); recipients of state assistance/compensation (including those established for each recipient of assistance/compensation): for housing among IDPs; as a low-income family; basic social assistance; as persons not entitled to a pension who became eligible for assistance after turning 65, as persons not entitled to a pension among those with disabilities, and dependents of a deceased breadwinner who did not receive pension benefits; living with a person with a Group I or II disability due to a mental disorder; persons with disabilities since childhood and children with disabilities; for children raised in large families; single mothers; children under guardianship or custody; children with severe perinatal damage to the nervous system; children whose parents evade child support payments; orphans and children deprived of parental care, including those with disabilities, who are in family-type children’s homes and foster families.

Ukrnafta has launched new equipment for well logging

JSC “Ukrnafta” has purchased and commissioned modern equipment for well logging and formation fluid analysis, which will improve the accuracy of geological and engineering decisions and reduce data acquisition time, the company announced on Tuesday.

“Developing our own research base is a strategic component of the oil and gas company’s operations,” said Bohdan Kukura, chairman of the board of Ukrnafta.

According to him, previously some of the research was carried out by external contractors, which limited the speed of analysis, but now the company has its own analytical base, thanks to which it has improved the quality of field development planning and reduced the time required to make technical decisions.

“At the same time, we are building the capacity to provide research services to other subsoil users as a separate business line,” added Kukura.

Ukrnafta, in particular, has acquired its own PVT (Pressure-Volume-Temperature) unit—laboratory equipment for studying the physical properties of reservoir fluids (oil, gas, condensate) under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. This makes it possible to analyze the characteristics of hydrocarbons directly under reservoir conditions.

In addition, downhole pressure gauges have been purchased and are being used to measure pressure at the wellbore and along the wellbore, echo-logging dynamographs to determine fluid levels, generate dynamograms, and analyze the performance of well equipment, mini-PLT—compact logging tools, as well as samplers for the sealed collection of deep samples of water, oil, gas, or oil-gas mixtures from a specified depth.

JSC “Ukrnafta” is Ukraine’s largest oil production company, carrying out a full cycle of activities in the production sector: exploration, oil and gas production, provision of oilfield services, as well as management of the largest network of gas stations in Ukraine, UKRNAFTA.

The company has over 1,106 oil wells and 131 gas wells on its balance sheet.

By the end of 2025, Ukrnafta became the leader in the extraction industry with a turnover of UAH 99.4 billion, as reflected in Opendatabot’s Index of Top Companies.

The UKRNAFTA network is the largest network of gas stations in Ukraine, comprising nearly 700 stations and ranking among the top three in terms of fuel sales volume. The UKRNAFTA brand consolidates networks that previously operated under the Glusco, Shell, and U.Go brands.

The shareholders of JSC “Ukrnafta” are NJSC “Naftogaz of Ukraine” and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Since 2022, the company has been under state management and is undergoing a large-scale business transformation.
