The minimum wage will increase in Ukraine: how will this affect reservations for mobilization?

In the draft state budget for 2026, the government proposes to increase the minimum wage from the current 8,000 to 8,647 hryvnias. Such an increase will affect not only the incomes of Ukrainians, but also the conditions for reserving workers from mobilization.

This is stated in document No. 14000, the draft budget for next year.

Now, companies can reserve employees if their average salary is at least 2.5 minimum wages — that is, 20,000 hryvnias.

If the new budget is approved, this level will increase to 21,617.50 hryvnias.

As a reminder, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported that military conscripts who have a valid deferment from conscription or reservation are not sent to undergo a military medical commission (MMC).

As reported, in the draft state budget of Ukraine for 2026, the government provided for an increase in social standards – in particular, the minimum wage and the subsistence minimum . For the first time since 2024, these indicators have undergone changes – in 2025 they were not revised.
