Not just free transportation: 5 benefits for retirees in Ukraine that many do not know about.


Ukraine has a state support system for elderly people, which includes various types of benefits. Some retirees are unaware of these benefits. In 2025, Ukrainian retirees will be entitled to free public transport and full exemption from certain taxes.
All retirees in Ukraine can use urban public transportation and suburban routes for free. To take advantage of this benefit, they need to show their pension card. This service is also available on suburban trains.
It is especially important to pay attention to benefits for retirees living in rural areas and working in the fields of culture, medicine, or education. They are completely exempt from paying utility bills, which helps reduce financial difficulties for these citizens.
Retirees are also provided with support in obtaining free or significantly discounted legal assistance. This is especially important in the context of constant changes in legislation and the complexity of the process of obtaining various documents.
For retirees, it is also important to have the opportunity to receive a subsidy for utility payments, which helps the family budget. The absence of the obligation to pay land tax allows retirees to own land without additional expenses.
It is also worth noting that, besides retirees, other citizens of Ukraine also have the right to free public transportation.
