Supreme Court dismissed cassation, ruling that a Ukrainian resident with permanent residence is legally obligated to register for social insurance.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Pavlo K., a Ukrainian national, against a social insurance authority decision mandating his mandatory social insurance coverage. The applicant argued that the authority should have proactively registered him based on his permanent residence status and the lack of a bilateral treaty requiring contributions. The court held that while the applicant was subject to mandatory insurance due to his permanent residence and business activity, the obligation to register fell upon him personally, not the authority, making the administrative decision declaratory rather than constitutive.
