On 22 September 2025, draft Law No. 14062 proposing the introduction of a foreign direct investment (FDI) screening regime was registered with the Ukrainian Parliament.
The draft law aligns with the European Union’s FDI Regulation 2019/452 and aims to safeguard national security by establishing a formal review process for investments in critical sectors such as infrastructure, strategic minerals, and defense. It introduces a notification requirement for qualifying transactions, a multi-stage review process, and sanctions for non-compliance, while also integrating with Ukraine’s merger control framework.
