"The First Deputy Prime Minister [Yulia] Svyrydenko reported on meetings and negotiations in the United States of America, as well as on government programs, particularly "єPidhidka". Almost 6.5 million Ukrainians have applied for "єPidhidka", including 1.6 million applications for children. The pace of development for this program is good, just as we expected," said Zelensky.
According to him, "it is obvious that the program is necessary for the people."
"The first payments are already underway. We see that about half of the payments have been allocated for utility services. A significant portion is going to volunteer funds, and it is very important that people can support our army with these resources," believes the President of Ukraine.
Zelensky reminded that Ukrainians can submit applications for the payment of 1,000 UAH of "єPidhidka" during the winter, and they can spend these funds throughout the entire next year.
