On June 2, 2026, Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 692 (dated May 30, 2026) entered into force, fundamentally overhauling the procedure for identifying critically important enterprises and reserving employees liable for military service. The government has effectively initiated a comprehensive system overhaul: all previously granted critical status designations are subject to mandatory review, posing significant risks of status revocation for businesses that fail to adapt in time.
Key Regulatory Changes
- The September 1, 2026 Deadline: All prior decisions regarding an enterprise's critical status must be reviewed by this date. Entities failing to meet the updated criteria will forfeit their status.
- Enhanced Financial Benchmarks: The minimum salary threshold for most enterprises has been raised to three times the minimum wage—UAH 25,941 for 2026 (with reduced coefficients applicable to enterprises operating in combat zones or temporarily occupied territories).
- Strict Compliance and Quota Controls: Rigorous liabilities have been introduced for exceeding employee reservation limits. Enterprises are legally mandated to independently submit an application via the Diia portal within 10 working days to cancel "excess" bookings; failure to do so may result in the revocation of critical status.
