The Warm Winter social program is expanding: more cash assistance for low-income families

The Ukrainian government continues to actively improve social programs aimed at supporting low-income families and internally displaced persons. One of the key initiatives in this direction is the Warm Winter program, which has received significant changes and expansion this year.

According to the announcement of the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal, the government is expanding the number of beneficiaries of this assistance. Now the program provides for payments of 6,500 hryvnias per child for families that were not included in the list last year due to technical shortcomings.

The main purpose of this assistance is to meet the most urgent needs of Ukrainian families during the cold winter months. Each family will be able to spend the funds received on purchasing warm clothes for their children, which is critically important in conditions of low temperatures and adverse weather conditions.

According to government statistics, in December last year alone, about 600,000 Ukrainians took advantage of the opportunity to receive assistance under the Warm Winter program. Each family received 6,500 hryvnias for each child, which significantly eased their financial burden during the winter period.

It is worth noting that the changes to the program have become an important step towards ensuring social justice and equal opportunities for all Ukrainian citizens. They will reduce the number of families left without necessary assistance due to objective circumstances of past periods.

Thus, the "Warm Winter" program continues to prove its effectiveness and importance for Ukrainian families in difficult life circumstances. The new changes to it will help provide more children with the necessary resources for a comfortable winter period.
