More than 11 million applications have already been received for obtaining UAH 1,000 under the Winter ePidtrymka programme. More than 8 million Ukrainians have already benefited from the programme, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said during a Government meeting on 7 January.

He assured that this year the Government would continue to deliver the Winter ePidtrymka initiative. In particular, in January, the payment of the ‘Teacher's Supplement’ will begin.

"Each teacher will receive an additional UAH 1,000 in cash to their salary every month, and from September this amount will amount to UAH 2,000," said Denys Shmyhal.

As part of the Winter ePidtrymka, the Government is also pursuing the eKnyha (eBook) initiative. According to the Prime Minister, more than 56,000 applications have already been received from those who turned 18 in 2024.

Also this month, another Winter ePidtrymka programme will be launched - accepting applications for rental subsidies for internally displaced persons. As the Head of Government stressed, this will help thousands of citizens in this difficult time.
