This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal at a Government session on 22 August.

“We have allocated almost UAH 565 million to pay UAH 5,000 to each person affected by russia’s blowing up of the Kakhovka HPP. 17,500 people have applied for compensation and UAH 54.6 million has already been paid out. Applications will be accepted until the end of October, so that everyone who needs help has time to apply,” the Head of Government stressed.
