Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal says that the payment of UAH 6,500 for those who have lost their jobs due to the war will begin next week.
“I appeal to the Ukrainians! The war came as a shock to all of us. Many have lost their homes, jobs, savings, but remained to defend Ukraine. Today the state will support you. On behalf of the President of Ukraine, the updated ePidtrymka program will start working next week. As part of this program, every employee, every private entrepreneur whose job was taken away by the war will be able to receive UAH 6,500,” Shmyhal said in his address on Sunday afternoon.
According to him, the program will work by analogy with payments for vaccination, that is, through the Diia application.
“The Ministry of Digital Transformation will inform about the details of how to issue assistance,” the prime minister added.
