On 14 July 2026, Resolution No. 904 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, dated 1 July 2026, entered into force, amending Resolution No. 303 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, dated 13 March 2022, “On the Suspension of State Supervision (Control) Measures Under Martial Law.”
The Resolution prohibits the scheduling of unscheduled inspections solely for the purpose of verifying compliance with an order, directive, or other administrative document if the property has been damaged as a result of hostilities, is located in a combat zone or on temporarily occupied territory, in a mined area, or in a high-risk agricultural zone. At the same time, the prohibition does not apply to inspections of state authorities and local self-government bodies.
The grounds for protection against inspections are the inclusion of the property in the State Register of Damaged and Destroyed Property or confirmation of one of the above-mentioned statuses of territory.
In addition, the list of entities whose requests can trigger an unscheduled food safety inspection has been expanded (the State Security Service has been added to the list). Additionally, the regional offices of the State Service for Food Safety and Consumer Protection have been granted the authority to independently decide on conducting price and consumer inspections.
For businesses whose property has been damaged by the war, this provides real protection against routine inspections in situations where it is physically impossible to remedy violations – such as when a building has been destroyed, or the territory is mined or occupied. However, businesses should ensure in advance that their damaged property is entered into the relevant state registry, as this entry is the key basis for applying the new restriction.
We will continue to closely monitor further developments in this area and report on them in the future Legal News.
