The agency notes that pensioners and their relatives often ask questions about the need to undergo identification again within one year.

According to Article 47-1 of the Law of Ukraine "On Compulsory State Pension Insurance," pension payments to persons temporarily staying outside Ukraine are made on the condition of undergoing physical identification by December 31 of each calendar year.

The Pension Fund of Ukraine explained that if a pensioner has already undergone identification in the current year and their identity has been properly confirmed, there is no need to repeat the procedure until the end of the year.

Gaps have been found in the draft law on strengthening the protection of arbitration managers, which may complicate its implementation.

The Supreme Court emphasized that the absence of permission from the guardianship authority does not by itself invalidate the contract, but the transaction is subject to being declared invalid if it restricts the housing rights and interests of the children.

The state can be a civil defendant in a criminal proceeding, and compensation for damage under Article 1174 of the Civil Code of Ukraine cannot be simultaneously imposed on both an official and the state.

Parliament will consider the TIC report on integrity in law enforcement and judicial bodies.

The Verkhovna Rada commission reported problems identified during mobilization measures, including the use of balaclavas, shortcomings in video recording, and gaps during the delivery of citizens to TRC.
