Key Pension Reforms for Displaced Persons Announced by PFU Head

National Dialogue Gathering

According to Пенсії (RSS): On June 16, 2026, Chernivtsi hosted the All-Ukrainian Dialogue Meeting for internally displaced persons and government officials, titled 'Together for Solutions.' The event featured Yevhenii Kapinus, Chairman of the Pension Fund of Ukraine (PFU). Attendees discussed critical topics, including:

• pension provisions;
• verification of work history;
• allocation and payment of state social benefits.

The Power of Open Dialogue

During the meeting, Mr. Kapinus stated that

“such open dialogue helps us make decisions that truly meet the needs of internally displaced persons.”

He also emphasized that

“the Pension Fund of Ukraine is continuously working to make its services more accessible and modern.”

This gathering marked a significant step toward improving communication between displaced individuals and state representatives, allowing participants to raise pressing concerns and ask questions on relevant issues.

The event underscores the importance of cooperation between government agencies and citizens affected by conflict. Discussions on social protection can greatly enhance the living conditions of internally displaced persons, a critical issue amid current challenges. Open dialogue between both sides can serve as a foundation for further refining state programs aimed at supporting this population group.

In light of recent discussions, it is crucial to note the ongoing efforts to enhance service accessibility within the Pension Fund. A recent webinar focused on accessibility for Pension Fund staff highlights the commitment to improving interactions with all citizens, including those affected by displacement. This initiative aligns with the goals discussed during the All-Ukrainian Dialogue Meeting, reinforcing the importance of making pension services more user-friendly and responsive to the needs of vulnerable populations.
