On August 17, 2026, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, led by Serhiy Koretsky, officially submitted its draft activity program for the next two years to the Verkhovna Rada. The document, which the government worked on for nearly a month, was the result of intensive consultations with parliamentarians. The final version of the program, which was adjusted last week, sets ambitious goals for economic recovery, European integration, and ensuring the country's defense capabilities. ### Political immunity and accountability The parliamentary approval of the activity program has not only declarative but also strictly practical significance for the government. According to the Constitution, the adoption of this document grants the Cabinet a one-year immunity: during this period, deputies do not have the right to dismiss the government due to an unsatisfactory assessment of its work. Serhiy Koretsky, commenting on the document, emphasized that this is a "clear list of tasks with personal accountability." A specific competent ministry or vice-premier is now responsible for fulfilling each criterion. However, the historical experience of Ukrainian politics shows that the existence of an approved program is not an absolute guarantee of stability. For example, the government of Oleksiy Honcharuk had an approved program but resigned after two months. Denys Shmyhal worked for more than five years without an approved document, and Yulia Sviridenko, despite preparing a draft program last year, was unable to get it approved in the Rada. Nevertheless, for the current composition of the Cabinet, this document becomes the foundation of legitimacy for 2026–2027. ### Economy: $101 billion and the sale of state banks The economic part of the program records large-scale plans to attract external assistance. The government aims to ensure the inflow of $101 billion in state support over two years. Internal measures include increasing tax revenues by 15–20%. One of the key reforms will be privatization: by the end of 2027, the sale of two state banks is planned. This decision is aimed at relieving the budget and increasing the efficiency of the financial sector. ### Energy and digitalization: challenges of war Given the continuing threats to energy infrastructure, the government has set the task of repairing 8 GW of capacity and launching 800 MW of gas generation. The priority remains the protection of critical infrastructure. In the field of digitalization, the launch of 5G networks in the five largest cities of the country is planned. In addition, by 2027, it is planned to ensure the autonomy of 70% of cellular towers, which will allow them to operate for up to 72 hours without external power supply. ### Social sphere and defense In the social program, the government promises a transition to a new pension model, but explicitly states that there are no plans to raise the minimum pension to 6,000 hryvnias in the foreseeable future. Instead, the focus is on increasing wages for teachers and medical workers, as well as expanding the "Affordable Medicines" program. In the defense sector, the task is to ensure 100% of the Armed Forces' needs for weapons and equipment, as well as to fully staff the personnel. The share of citizens who have undergone training in resistance centers should increase to 60,000 people per year by 2027. ### Contradictory data In the analysis of the program by experts and in the text of the document itself, one can find differences in the interpretation of some obligations. On the one hand, the government declares full responsibility for fulfilling the criteria. On the other hand, historical precedents (the resignations of Shmyhal and Sviridenko) indicate that political will may change faster than the program items are implemented. In addition, experts note that the plan to attract $101 billion in aid depends entirely on external donors, whose decisions cannot be guaranteed by an internal Cabinet document. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [16 ministers: The Rada voted for the final appointments in Koretsky's government (infographic)](https://focus.ua/politics/761216-kabmin-koreckogo-rada-utverdila-19-osnovnyh-ministrov-podrobnosti) - Подтверждает формирование правительства Корецкого и контекст работы Кабмина в августе 2026 года. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: What does the Rada's approval of the program give the government? **A:** The approval of the program gives the Cabinet a one-year political immunity: deputies cannot dismiss the government due to a work assessment during this period. ### Q: Is there a plan to raise the minimum pension to 6,000 hryvnias? **A:** The program states that a transition to a new pension model is planned, but it explicitly states that there is no increase in the minimum pension to 6,000 UAH. ### Q: What economic goals are set in the program? **A:** The government plans to attract $101 billion in state aid, increase tax revenues by 15–20%, and sell two state banks by the end of 2027.
