Residents of Kherson region affected by the flooding due to the explosion at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant can receive financial aid from the state, regional and local budgets, as well as from international organizations, said the head of the regional military administration Alexander Prokudin on Wednesday evening.
“The size of payments from the state – 5 thousand UAH for each family member, from the regional budget – 5 thousand UAH per household. From local budgets – from 1 thousand to 15 thousand UAH per household. In Kherson itself also pay 5 thousand UAH”, – he informed in his Telegram channel.
According to Prokudin, the residents of the region also have the opportunity to apply to international organizations, which pay 6,600 UAH for each family member.
To formalize the relevant payments residents of Kherson and the region need to apply to the social protection agencies of their communities, he said.
“During a visit to the department, a person writes an application for all types of assistance at once, and specialists form the appropriate cases. More than half a thousand people have already applied and already next week they should receive money,” specified Prokudin.
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has allocated more than 980 million UAH for compensation for damaged and destroyed homes due to the Russian occupants blowing up the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power plant in the Kherson region, as well as 560 million UAH to pay one-time state aid to flood victims, Prime Minister Denis Shmygal said.
“The compensation mechanism will be similar to the program “eRecovery”. But, given the situation in the region, the application will be made through local authorities. A person will choose one of two options. Either buy another home, or take the money to repair or rebuild their own house on their own,” Shmygal said at a government retreat in the Kherson region on Friday.
