“This week, together with the World Bank, we presented a new RDNA4 report. According to the results, we see that the housing sector suffered the most – 33% of the total damage. Therefore, housing programmes remain our top priority. In particular, we are talking about compensation.

During the first month of the IDP compensation programme, 700 families have already purchased new housing. These are payments of more than UAH 1 billion. Another 2,500 families have been approved for payments under the certificates and are now looking for housing to buy. Thus, we can already say that more than 3,000 families have received new housing in the first month of the compensation programme. The programme is only gaining momentum, so we expect even better results and indicators,” said Oleksii Kuleba, Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration of Ukraine and Minister for Communities and Territories Development.

As of today, people are buying housing most often in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Chernihiv and Mykolaiv regions. In total, thanks to UAH 15 billion that the Government has redistributed to the programme of compensation for destroyed housing for IDPs, it is expected that it will be possible to help 10,000 families get new housing.

As a reminder, Ukrainians with IDP status who have lost their only property can benefit from the new compensation. The service is available for destroyed housing on government-controlled territory or in the area of active hostilities.

Separately, the Minister said that according to the RDNA4, Ukraine’s recovery needs over the next 10 years are estimated at USD 524 billion. The most affected sectors are: housing – 33% of the total damage, transport – 21%, energy and extractive industry – 12%, trade and industry – 10%.

Donetsk, Kharkiv, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson and Kyiv regions accounted for 72% of the total damage.

According to the Minister, despite the fact that the damage caused by the Russian aggression has increased significantly compared to previous similar reports, the Ministry continues to work and already has examples of successfully implemented projects. Housing, energy and critical infrastructure have been identified as the priorities for recovery in 2025.
