According to Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, the Ukrainian government has allocated UAH 50 billion for housing and utility subsidies for citizens in need. The simplified subsidy process helps to increase the level of payment for utilities and maintain the country's infrastructure.

Ukrainians in need of support can receive housing and utility subsidies under a simplified procedure. This year, UAH 50 billion has been allocated for them.

This was announced during a government meeting by Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal, UNN reports.

People in need of support receive housing and utility subsidies. The procedure is as simplified as possible, with the applicant submitting a minimum of data, and the rest of the information is collected by the Pension Fund. This year, the state budget allocates UAH 50 billion for housing and utility subsidies for 3 million Ukrainian families. This is about 25% more than last year
