Financial Assistance for Winter 2026

According to Novyny.live: A charitable foundation named 'Right to Protection' will provide financial aid to specific groups in several Ukrainian regions during the winter of 2026. This initiative is part of the 'Response Consortium: Providing Multi-Sectoral Humanitarian Aid to Conflict-Affected Populations in Ukraine (2023–2026)' project, which receives support from the United States government. This program highlights the ongoing international effort to address humanitarian needs in Ukraine following the full-scale invasion.

Program Eligibility Criteria

The 'Right to Protection' foundation's cash assistance will be available in the Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Odesa, and Kharkiv oblasts. Only individuals meeting specific criteria can participate. These include:

• Not having received cash assistance from the 'Right to Protection' foundation or other organizations in the preceding three months.
• Possession of Ukrainian citizenship or a valid residence permit.
• Status as an internally displaced person (IDP) after February 24, 2022.
• Current residence in one of the specified oblasts.

This initiative underscores the efforts of charitable organizations and international partners to mitigate the consequences of the conflict and the economic hardships faced by Ukrainians.

Providing financial support in winter is particularly vital, as many families face additional burdens due to cold weather and high living costs. The program aims not only to deliver aid but also to bolster social stability in the regions most affected by the war.
