Ukraine adopts long-term strategy for critical raw materials development

Ukraine has approved a long-term strategy to position itself as a leading European hub for strategic and critical raw materials, creating new opportunities for investors across mining, processing and advanced manufacturing.

The adoption of the strategy represents a significant milestone in Ukraine’s efforts to develop its critical raw materials sector and integrate into EU and global supply chains. Ukraine’s significant raw materials reserves, combined with the planned regulatory reforms and gradual alignment with EU legislation, may offer attractive entry points for strategic investors, technology providers and off-takers. With these ambitious targets, the strategy marks another important step in Ukraine's economic recovery and industrial transformation.

The 2026 Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdansk last month marked a key shift. Reconstruction pledges made at the first URC in 2022 are now practical financing instruments—with Ukraine securing 160 recovery-related agreements worth EUR 10 billion.

Over the same five years, policies, reforms and initiatives announced by Ukraine have become business realities: industrial parks, PPPs, war-risk insurance, SME and investment support.

Together, these shifts mean Ukraine’s recovery agenda is now a real investment pipeline. Explore the details in our latest update: https://cms.law/en/ukr/publication/rebuilding-ukraine

Ukraine has taken another major step towards aligning its medical device legislation with the EU Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) and In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR).

The new framework introduces updated conformity assessment rules, enhanced post-market surveillance, UDI requirements and a future national database compatible with EUDAMED. Although the new rules will apply from 2030, medtech companies should begin preparing now to assess product portfolios, plan certification strategies and navigate the transition smoothly.

Ukraine launches NEMO appointment framework to advance EU electricity market integration

Ukraine has taken another important step towards integrating with the EU electricity market by introducing the framework for appointing Nominated Electricity Market Operators (NEMOs).

The new rules establish the process for designating operators that will organise cross-border electricity trading under the EU's day-ahead and intraday market coupling mechanisms. While market coupling is not yet in place, this is a key milestone in Ukraine's roadmap towards integration with the European electricity market and creates greater regulatory certainty for market participants.

Ukraine reforms transmission grid connection rules for energy projects

Ukraine has adopted new procurement rules designed to speed up the connection of large-scale energy projects to the transmission grid.

Project developers will be able to select contractors for high-voltage grid connection works, replacing the previous model where the transmission system operator managed procurement on a competitive basis. The reform is expected to reduce delays, give investors greater control over project delivery and accelerate the development of renewable energy, battery storage and other major infrastructure projects.
