Earlier this week, a message posted on the State Medical Service website said (translated):
“On June 2, 2025, the State Medical Service issued the first permit for the right to import medical cannabis substances into the territory of Ukraine. The permit was issued for a substance that is registered in Ukraine and included in the State Register of Medicinal Products of Ukraine.”
And that was it, no further detail was provided.
But it’s not just medical cannabis moving ahead in Ukraine, the industrial hemp sector is making solid progress too.
Ukraine’s largest industrial hemp processing facility recently commenced operations in the country’s Zhytomyr region. The facility, housed in a repurposed abandoned flax mill will have a capacity of 14,000 tons per year and process hemp fiber for the local market and the European textile industry.
More recently, the country’s government said dozens of hemp businesses had registered in Ukraine’s eCannabis system since it began operating in March.
