Arseniy Yatsenyuk declares 5.4 million families already received subsidies

"All the fears that existed six months ago about the fact that it would be impossible to issue the subsidy or that this mechanism would not work, turned out a political lie. Almost every third citizen receives direct financial support from the state," pointed out Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk in the Ten Minutes program on Sunday, 10 January.

Arseniy Yatsenyuk appealed to citizens to issue subsidies: "Few people believed that the state would actually help anyone who needs this help. But the truth is as follows: 5.4 million Ukrainian families did not just apply for grants but they are receiving these subsidies. And each of you knows this. If you did not receive a subsidy, your friends, relatives, and friends are getting it. Ask them whether the mechanism offered by the state on reducing the cost of housing and communal services is real. Yes, it is real."

The Prime Minister noted that some families paid this year even less than last year.

Arseniy Yatsenuyk also reminded that, according to the decision of the Government, households that use natural gas for heating homes may use 1200 cubic meters of gas (at a reduced price. - Ed.) within six months and under the schedule that suits them":"For example, December was warm. This means that gas consumption was less. If you saved gas in December, then the amount of saved gas you can easily use in January. Or even if in January you consume more gas than you saved in December, you can use part of gas in the coldest month."

"So, for six months you have a volume of gas at a discounted price, which makes up UAH3600, it is half the market value of gas that you can use at your option," Arseniy Yatsenyuk addressed the citizens.
