Not for all pensioners: The Pension Fund explained who will receive an additional 5000 hryvnias every month.

Increase in pension supplements for fighters for independence

The Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada has increased pension supplements for fighters for independence of the 20th century to 5.05 thousand hryvnias. The law providing for these payments came into effect in 2023. According to it, those who suffered from repression during the communist regime will receive an additional pension for special services to Ukraine.

In 2025, the amount of monthly supplement for fighters for independence increased to 5.05 thousand hryvnias after the indexing of these payments. Supporting documents are mandatory to receive this payment. If a person has several grounds for receiving the supplement, they receive it at the maximum amount according to the law.

Additional payments are an important step for supporting and honoring those who sacrificed for Ukraine's independence and suffered during the totalitarian regime.
