Prime Minister: The most affected and vulnerable Ukrainians will be able to receive finance from international humanitarian organizations - the UN and UNICEF

The Government has directed the first UAH 600 million resource as assistance for IDPs. Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced in his video address April 18. It envisages monthly payments of UAH 2,000 to an adult and UAH 3,000 to a child or person with a disability.

“The Government’s decree clearly defines which categories are entitled to get

compensation as a result of russia’s war against Ukraine. Those are registered internally displaced persons, Ukrainians evacuated from areas of active hostilities and those residing in de-occupied settlements,” the Head of Government stressed.

In addition to payments from the state, the most affected and vulnerable Ukrainians, according to the Prime Minister, will be able to receive finance from international humanitarian organizations - the UN and UNICEF.

“The Government has endorsed a resolution on the possibility of applying for such assistance through the Diia portal. We are currently working on the technical implementation of such a decision,” told Denys Shmyhal.

Also, the Head of Government noted that Ukrainian citizens staying now on temporary occupied or besieged territories, would be fully accrued and paid all appropriate social payments (pensions, social assistance, benefits and subsidies). The Cabinet of Ministers has adopted the relevant decision.

Moreover, the Government continues to reimburse the cost of utilities for families who have provided internally displaced citizens with shelter. The Prime Minister also told electricity tariffs would remain for people unchanged - UAH 1.44 per kWh for Ukrainian households consuming less than 250 kWh a month.
