The funds will be credited to special accounts or to the 'Diia Card'. They can be spent within 180 days on clothing, footwear, medicines, or vitamins. 'This program received 4.4 billion UAH from the state budget,' the minister noted.

One-time Winter Payment

This year, all citizens of Ukraine, both adults and children, will receive assistance in the form of a one-time payment of 1,000 UAH to cover basic expenses at the beginning of the winter of 2025-2026.

The comments of the Minister of Social Policy clarify who these payments are intended for and what needs they address, emphasizing the importance of social support for citizens during the winter period.

Winter support in Ukraine is aimed at reducing the financial burden on vulnerable groups of the population, considering the difficult conditions that may arise in the cold season. It is important that these funds are used effectively, ensuring the basic needs of those who need it most.
