The real poverty line in Ukraine announced: how much an adult, a pensioner, and a child must spend per month
In Ukraine a pensioner must spend at least 7 415,33 UAH per month in order to meet their basic needs. The minimum for a working-age person is 12 116,21 UAH (including mandatory payments).
This is stated in data from the Ministry of Social Policy on the actual subsistence minimum at September 2026 prices. These figures were provided by the Ministry of Social Policy in response to a request from OBOZ.UA. It is worth noting that the actual subsistence minimum is higher than the level of the average pension and the minimum wage.
