President Vladimir Zelensky announced new mechanisms for direct support of Ukrainians next year. However, specifics on these programs will come later.. The head of state said this in an evening address on Tuesday, December 23. Zelensky noted that the format of direct financial assistance to the population is a generally accepted tool in leading countries of the world, in particular in the USA and Europe. In Ukraine, this approach has also proven effective as a way of social protection and stimulation of the domestic market. " America, Europe, and other parts of the world form their own direct support programs in one way or another. Next year we will provide new ones,” the president emphasized.. Zelensky recalled that the current assistance program has covered a significant number of Ukrainians. According to the latest data from the Ministry of Economy, more than 17.7 million citizens have already applied for the “winter thousand”. Acceptance of applications for this payment ends on December 24. Ukrainians actively use the money received to pay for utilities, purchase medicines and donations for the needs of the Defense Forces. The President emphasized that new initiatives for 2026 will be developed taking into account the needs of the most vulnerable categories of the population and the general economic situation in the country. The government will publish details of future programs later..

Let us remind you that from November 15 to December 24, the government launched the opportunity for every citizen to submit an application in the Diya application or at the Ukrposhta branch to receive assistance in the amount of 1000 hryvnia as part of the Winter Support program. You can use the funds until June 30, 2026. The aid can be spent on utilities, medicines, Ukrainian-made products, postal services, books, charity and donations to the Defense Forces. .
