Together with Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko we approved the new programs to support people and communities. The Government of Ukraine must make it significantly easier for homeowners associations (OSBBs) to purchase new equipment – generators and other machinery needed amid electricity shortages. The support program for owners of private homes to ensure autonomous power supply will also be expanded. Government officials are to present all details of the new programs in the near future. The Prime Minister also reported on the implementation status of existing support programs. Applications from sole proprietors are coming in actively for payments that help maintain and repair generators – nearly 20,000 such applications have already been submitted. The zero-percent loan program for purchasing generators has reached half a billion hryvnias and will continue to grow – sufficient funds are available within the program. The program of warmth packages distributed to people, including in Kyiv, is expected to reach a volume of 40,000 packages this week. About 400,000 Ukrainians are enrolled in a special targeted assistance program for those whose standard of living is, unfortunately, the lowest. These people received 6,500 hryvnias this winter. The Winter Support program has clearly demonstrated its results and usefulness for people – within this program, assistance has already been provided to 17.8 million Ukrainians. We will continue all effective support programs.(Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський)
