Ensuring Social Rights and Strengthening Cooperation: Ukraine and Moldova Sign Social Security Agreement

During a working visit to Moldova, Minister of Social Policy, Family and Unity of Ukraine Denys Uliutin signed an Agreement between Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova in the field of social security. The Agreement was signed on behalf of Moldova by Minister of Labour and Social Protection Natalia Plugaru.

The document aims to strengthen bilateral cooperation and ensure the social rights of citizens of Ukraine and Moldova who are covered by the legislation of both countries.

“Our countries are united not only by geographical proximity, but also by shared European aspirations, including ensuring a decent level of social protection for our people. The Agreement covers key areas of social security and provides greater certainty for citizens of one country who work or reside in the other. It will help prevent the loss of insurance rights and ensure fair access to social benefits,” said Denys Uliutin.

The Minister emphasised that the Agreement establishes clear and transparent mechanisms for coordinating the social security systems of both countries. In particular, it covers old-age, disability and survivors’ pensions, temporary incapacity and maternity benefits, insurance payments related to workplace accidents and occupational diseases, as well as funeral benefits.

The Agreement will also contribute to labour mobility and deepen economic cooperation between Ukraine and Moldova.
