Information about the cancellation of the payment of UAH 15 million to the families of the fallen heroes is a fake. Payout stays the same. This was announced by Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar.

" On February 28, the government approved the decision that the payment to the families of the dead defenders of Ukraine is UAH 15 million. Nobody cancels this decision and is not going to cancel it, ”Malyar wrote on her Facebook page..

The implementation of the additional payment of a lump-sum benefit in the event of a change in the disability group or percentage of disability is now carried out regardless of the period that has passed since the initial establishment of disability or partial disability. Previously, the term was limited to two years.

Since 2014, the lump-sum payment for the death of a soldier has amounted to 609 thousand. UAH.
