The state has already paid out UAH 1.5 billion for property damaged by russians under the eVidnovlennia programme. Almost 19,000 families have received the funds. This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

“The greatest need is in Kharkiv, Kyiv and Mykolaiv regions. There, local authorities should make every effort to quickly record losses and consider applications in a timely manner,” the Head of Government stressed.

According to the Prime Minister, almost 5,000 applications have been received from citizens regarding destroyed property. 346 certificates have already been generated in Diia. The average value of each certificate is about UAH 2 million. He noted that this was a resource for buying new housing and that people would soon be able to use it.

“The third component of the programme is compensation for repairs made at people’s own expense. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed the relevant law. Payments will begin in 2024. The mechanism will be simple and clear, similar to other components of the eVidnovlennia,” said Denys Shmyhal.

The Head of Government also informed that more than 4,300 Ukrainian families have already benefited from the eOselia preferential mortgage programme. They have received preferential loans totalling UAH 6.3 billion. 30% of the recipients bought apartments from developers.

“This is how we stimulate the construction industry. This industry should be one of the leading ones in the post-war years to compensate for the losses in the housing sector caused by the enemy,” said Denys Shmyhal.
