In Ukraine, the conditions for retirement have changed

According to the law "On Mandatory State Pension Insurance," the right to receive an old-age pension is determined based on the accrued insurance period upon reaching the age specified by law – 60, 63, or 65 years.

The insurance period that grants the right to retire at 60 years is increased by 12 months each year and will be 35 years in 2028.

In 2025, the right to an old-age pension applies to people who have reached:

• 60 years — provided that there is at least 32 years of insurance period;
• 63 years — provided that there is at least 22 years of insurance period;
• 65 years — provided that there is at least 15 years of insurance period.

It is worth knowing that an old-age pension is granted upon the application of a person from the day following the day they reach pension age, provided that the application is submitted no later than three months from the date of reaching such age.
