A member of the Parliamentary Committee on Public Health, Medical Care, and Health Insurance Serhiy Kuzminykh proposes banning the use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) for the benefit of foreigners and stateless persons, as well as introducing criminal liability for the use of such technologies or the organization of ART procedures for the benefit of foreigners. Healthcare facilities, for their part, are required to conduct mandatory verification of the citizenship of potential genetic parents before beginning the surrogacy procedure. Another initiative by Kuzminykh is a bill that proposes introducing criminal liability for performing or organizing assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures for the benefit of foreign nationals. "The absence of clear legislative restrictions on the use of assisted reproductive technologies allows business entities (private medical facilities and intermediary agencies) to exploit women's reproductive functions for the purpose of obtaining unlawful gains. According to data from open sources, in 2024, slightly fewer than 2,000 Ukrainian women took advantage of free infertility treatment (in vitro fertilization), in 2025, according to data provided by the Ministry of Health, 6,924 Ukrainian women received such treatment; and in 2026 (as of August), 6,290 women had already received treatment under the program, with 1,885 of them confirming their pregnancies.
