Working pensioners, who number 2.8 million out of a total of 10.1 million people in Ukraine, traditionally receive higher payments. Over the quarter, their average pension increased by 744.28 UAH and currently stands at 7,904.38 UAH.

Distribution of pension payments by amount:

• 3.4% of pensioners receive up to 3,000 UAH;

• From 3,001 to 4,000 UAH — 24.2%;

• From 4,001 to 5,000 UAH — 17.3%;

• From 5,001 to 10,000 UAH — 36.4%;

• Over 10,000 UAH — 18.5%.

Most citizens (72.5%) receive old-age pensions, while another 14.9% receive disability pensions. The remaining payments include survivor’s benefits, seniority pensions, and social pensions.

The rise in social standards in Ukraine is occurring against the backdrop of official confirmation of a systemic recession in the Russian Federation, which began in April 2026. The Pension Fund emphasizes that payments are being funded in full and on schedule. Further adjustments to pension amounts will depend on the dynamics of average wages and inflation rates in the country. Despite the challenges, the stability of the pension system remains one of the priorities of the state budget.
