Ukraine launches winter support program with half million applications in first

Today, our winter support program has been launched. And in the first two hours of intake, there have already been half a million applications for 1,000 hryvnias per Ukrainian in need of support – for both adults and children, making a real difference for a family. The funds can be used not only this year, but also next year, until June, to pay utility bills, buy medicines, Ukrainian goods, Ukrainian books, and, of course, this money can be donated to volunteers and foundations supporting our Ukrainian army.

The key is to submit the application through Diia or Ukrposhta, and to do it before Christmas, by December 24. The money should arrive within ten days of the application being submitted. Funding for the program is secured. And last year, over 14 million Ukrainians benefited from winter support, so this year, we also expect the program to have a large-scale impact. The Government of Ukraine will carry out the program in full. If additional support or extra funding is needed, we will provide it.
