Yulia Svyrydenko: Citizens have already spent UAH 11.3 billion of Winter Support assistance

The Winter Support programme continues to help Ukrainians. Citizens are actively using the thousand and have already spent UAH 11.3 billion in aid. This was reported by Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko.

Most often, the funds are used to pay for utilities — this accounts for about 80% of expenses. Other popular categories include food, medicines, and donations to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

A total of 17.8 million Ukrainians have applied for and received UAH 1,000 under the Winter Support programme, including 3.5 million children. All payments under this programme have already been made in full. The funds can be used until 30 June 2026.

"Payments of UAH 6,500 for vulnerable groups of the population are continuing. They have already been transferred to 374,367 people, and citizens have spent UAH 1.1 billion of this amount — mainly on clothing for adults and children, as well as on footwear," said Yulia Svyrydenko.

Other state support programmes for the winter period are also in place: targeted assistance for residents of frontline territories and internally displaced persons, including payments for firewood, compensation for 100 kW of electricity per person per month during the cold season, as well as energy efficiency support programmes for businesses, private homes and condominiums.
