Since the onset of the full-out war, the Government has been forming food packages, which the local authorities distribute among the displaced and residents of the frontline communities. During the meeting on November 4, the Cabinet of Ministers adopted a decision that will speed up the process of handing over these products. This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

"This will also make it possible to issue food packages as a matter of priority to those IDPs who are entitled to assistance from the state and international organizations," added the Head of Government.

In addition, the state compensates bakers for the cost of producing bakery products at the expense of part of the products they process. Thus, according to the Prime Minister, businesses will have work while people will have bread in the frontline areas.

Apart from that, the Government allocated from the reserve fund more than UAH 34 million as compensation to state and communal institutions for the free accommodation of displaced persons. As Denys Shmyhal noted, this would allow them to pay for communal services and further shelter IDPs.

"Currently, more than 2,000 institutions throughout Ukraine have opened their doors to 150,000 internally displaced persons. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, the state has compensated them with more than UAH 459 million in costs for paying for communal services," the Prime Minister noted.

The Head of the Government added that almost 3.5 million internally displaced persons had been registered in Ukraine since February 24 this year. The total number of IDPs registered in Ukraine is 4.8 million: "Our commitment is to take care of these people, provide them with food, housing, and work."
