According to Svyrydenko, the assistance will be paid within the framework of a targeted support program for citizens who are most affected by the consequences of rising world prices for fuel and, accordingly, for goods and services.
Several categories of citizens will be able to receive a one-time payment of UAH 1,500. These include, in particular, pensioners by age, people with disabilities, low-income families, recipients of basic social assistance, internally displaced persons among recipients of social payments, large families and single mothers.
As the Prime Minister noted, if a person simultaneously belongs to several categories of recipients, the payment will be assigned to him only once. The money will be transferred to bank accounts or delivered via Ukrposhta. Payments will continue throughout April.
