Ukraine's government has announced a new package of support measures aimed at assisting internally displaced persons (IDPs) affected by the ongoing war. Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko detailed the decisions on Telegram, highlighting key changes designed to ease the burden on those forced to flee their homes.
The government has extended the period of compensation payments to institutions housing refugees who lost their documents due to the war, from 60 to 90 days
A significant aspect of the new package is the extension of compensation payment periods for institutions housing refugees who lost their documents due to the conflict. This period has been increased from 60 to 90 days, providing more sustained support for temporary accommodations. Additionally, the government has broadened the accepted methods for verifying the destruction or damage of housing, now including reports from remote inspections as valid proof.
To enhance transparency, the compensation system will see improvements, allowing citizens to track information regarding compensation decisions, reasons for refusal, calculation of amounts, and payment records through the electronic portal of the Ukrainian Pension Fund. This move aims to provide greater clarity and accountability in the distribution of aid.
From now on, a remote inspection report can be used as proof.
Furthermore, the government has approved measures to provide housing for family-type children's care homes. The order and conditions for allocating state budget subsidies have been established, with priority given to families evacuated due to the war, those who have lost their homes, or individuals returning to Ukraine from abroad. A substantial allocation of 833 million Ukrainian hryvnias has been designated in the 2026 state budget for housing support for these types of institutions.
