Step one. Check for documents and licenses. As before the war, the availability of documents remains an important condition for buying and selling real estate. If we are talking about an apartment in a new building, you must show the construction project and permit documents for it. Among them are a license and permit for construction work, as well as a lease agreement or ownership of a plot of land.

If you choose real estate on the secondary market, carefully check the ownership documents. First of all, it is important to check their authenticity and exclude the possibility of forgery. In addition, now in Ukraine it is partially allowed to sell housing under a power of attorney, if it is issued abroad and certified by a consul. However, it must be issued no later than 30 days before signing the agreement. If the deadline has expired, a notarized statement confirming that the power of attorney is still valid is required.

Step two. Check the status of the land plot. Ask the developer for an ownership document or a lease agreement for the plot of land on which the house is being built. In addition, the purpose of the land must be "For residential construction". You should also check the plot on the Public Cadastral Map (https://kadastr.live/#5/48.43/32.77).

The solution to this issue is to establish the fact of participation in measures related to repelling the armed aggression of the Russian Federation in an administrative or judicial manner as part of a separate proceeding.

Currently, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has developed a draft resolution "Some issues of establishing the fact of participation in measures necessary to ensure the defense of Ukraine, the protection of the safety of the population and the interests of the state in connection with the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine." There are no estimated dates for the adoption of this resolution yet.

How to confirm the fact of participation in armed resistance?

The following documents are attached to the application:

• a copy of the document certifying the identity of the applicant, and in the case of submission of documents by a legal representative or authorized person, copies of documents certifying the identity of the persons on whose behalf the application is submitted, as well as a document authorizing the legal representative or authorized person to represent such persons , issued in accordance with legislation;

• a copy of the certificate of the medical and social expert commission on the group and cause of disability;

• the opinion of a medical expert certifying the fact of receiving an injury, contusion, mutilation, disease, or a copy of the primary medical accounting documentation, the forms of which are approved by the Ministry of Health;

• a certificate of direct participation in activities during the period of martial law of the person specified in subparagraph 1 of paragraph 2 of this Procedure, issued by the commander (chief) of a military unit (organ, unit) of the Armed Forces, the State Border Service, the National Police, the National Guard, the Security Service of Ukraine and/or another formed in accordance with the law of a military formation and a law enforcement body, in interaction with which the person took a direct part in measures during the period of martial law;

• testimony (statement) of the unit commander in whose area of responsibility the person was, or testimony (statements) of at least two witnesses who, together with the person, took direct part in the events;

Also taken into account are testimonies (statements) of persons whose signatures are notarized or by other persons authorized by the Law of Ukraine "On Notaries", or by the commander (chief) of a military unit (organ, unit) and the seal of a military unit (organ, unit), in to which (to whom) the persons are undergoing military service, who took a direct part in the events, for the period for which they testify;

The government adopted a resolution that will make procurement of medicines and medical devices more transparent and efficient.

The document obliges public customers to buy some medicines and medical products through the Prozorro Market electronic catalog.

If medical institutions purchase medicines and medical products from the specified list, worth UAH 50,000 or more, they are obliged to use the e-catalogue.

In particular, in 2022, the total cost of medical products purchased through the e-catalog was UAH 28 million, while in 6 months of 2023, this indicator grew to over UAH 235 million.

This tool works on the principle of a marketplace and is free for customers. Thus, health care institutions will be able to quickly and conveniently purchase goods using the price quotation request tool. On average, this procedure lasts 9 days. The medical part of the catalog is administered by specialists of Medical Procurement of Ukraine.

MZU is a centralized purchasing organization that, thanks to e-catalogs, carries out preliminary qualification of suppliers. She is also responsible for creating product profiles. This will not allow public customers to apply discriminatory requirements to participants in procurement and supply conditions.

Recently, the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine Regarding Certain Issues Related to Completion of Military Service During Martial Law" entered into force.

One of the key changes is the simplification of the procedure for discharge from military service for servicemen who received a relevant decision according to the conclusion of the military medical commission.

Thus, according to the changes, during the period of martial law, servicemen who were recognized by the military medical commission as unfit for military service do not return to the military unit for medical leave or discharge, but are immediately sent to the territorial recruitment and social support center for obtaining the necessary documents from the military unit regarding leave or dismissal from military service.

This became possible thanks to the fact that now all the necessary documents from the military unit can be obtained using electronic document circulation directly at the territorial center of recruitment and social support.

The term of providing compensation for expenses for temporary accommodation of internally displaced persons is 5 (working) days.
