Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has extended ban on export of unprocessed timber

The moratorium on the export of unprocessed timber from Ukraine, which was introduced on November 1, 2015, for 10 years, has been temporarily extended by a decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine until the end of the year in the form of a zero export quota.

“At the request of businesses, the government has made an important decision to temporarily ban the export of unprocessed timber. This is a necessary step to take care of people in winter, preserve the work of our enterprises, and reduce the burden on the environment,” Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko wrote on Friday on Telegram following her trip to the Rivne region.

She noted that the volume of logging in Ukraine has significantly decreased during the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation. “Enterprises that could be operating are idle or working at minimum capacity due to a lack of wood. The army needs wood for its own needs. Life in rural communities, where firewood is a key resource for heating in winter, depends on the availability of wood,” the head of government wrote.

In addition, according to Svyrydenko, the war has caused significant damage to the environment, as part of the forests are temporarily occupied or damaged by hostilities. “Therefore, timber exports will create an additional burden on the environment,” the prime minister noted.

“The decision provides for export licensing – a zero quota until the end of the year. We continue to work on further steps to systematically address the timber shortage,” Svyrydenko said.

The head of the State Forest Resources Agency of Ukraine, Viktor Smal, previously told the agency that according to the law adopted in 2015, the moratorium on the export of unprocessed timber of all tree species, except pine (a 10-year moratorium was introduced for pine on January 1, 2017), will end on November 1, 2025.

Smal clarified that the extension of the moratorium for the duration of martial law and for another 10 years after it is provided for in the draft law on the timber market, which is currently being prepared for its first reading.
“In my opinion, 10 years is definitely enough to recover from all these shocks in terms of production and investment,” said the head of the State Forestry Agency.

He believes that the moratorium has been beneficial because a large number of production facilities have expanded and opened in Ukraine. “If we look at the structure of our exports, we will see that the depth of our wood processing leaves much to be desired. We should try to make not boards, not beams, not pallets, but cribs, kitchen chairs, tables, and export them,” Smal added.

As reported, in January-August 2025, Ukraine exported $1,131.3 million worth of wood and wood products, which is 15.5% more than in January-August 2024. However, during the same period, wood and wood products worth $160.5 million were imported, which is 8.8% more than in January-August 2024.

During this period, wood and other fibrous cellulose materials worth $186.2 million were exported (19.1% more than in January-August 2024), and $594.3 million worth were imported (1.7% less than in January-August 2024).

European Investment Bank is considering financing EUR70 mln project to supply Mykolaiv with drinking water

The European Investment Bank is considering a EUR70 million project to supply Mykolaiv with drinking water.

“The sub-project aims to restore Mykolaiv’s access to drinking water after serious damage to its water supply infrastructure as a result of the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant by Russian troops in 2023. The implementation of the sub-project will bring significant environmental and social benefits, including improved water quality, reduced pollution, and increased energy efficiency,” the project description states.

In addition, temporary jobs will be created during the construction of infrastructure elements, the document notes.

According to information on the bank’s website, the beneficiaries of the financing are state bodies and companies. The project is part of the Ukraine Municipal Infrastructure Development Program, launched in 2015 with financing in the form of a EUR400 million framework loan.

As reported, in September 2024, the government reached preliminary agreements with the EIB to attract donor funds for the construction of a water intake from the Southern Bug River and a main water pipeline in Mykolaiv.

The EIB has been operating in Ukraine since 2007. Following Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, the Bank stepped up its financial support to help strengthen the country’s resilience and rebuild its infrastructure. Since then, the EIB has provided Ukraine with EUR 4 billion in financing.
