This is assistance to large families, low-income families, single mothers, people with disabilities, including children,” said Denys Shmyhal and added that economic support through social benefits and payments is provided for almost 6 million people.

According to the Head of Government, subsidies will also be paid in full. UAH 37 billion is provided for this purpose. And tariffs will not increase until the end of the heating season.
