“From today, all citizens of Ukraine who are on the territory of the country can apply for a one-time cash assistance of 1000 UAH. Applications for children can be submitted by parents or guardians,” Svyrydenko wrote.
Conditions for Receiving and Using the Assistance
After submitting the application, users will receive confirmation of the processing of their request and the order for payment. The funds will be credited to a special card called “National Cashback.” Applications can be submitted until December 24, 2025, inclusive, and the money must be used by June 30, 2026.
The 1000 UAH can be spent on utility payments, purchasing medications, food, books, as well as for charitable contributions or postal services. Applications for children can be submitted by parents or official guardians.
Technical Details and Additional Initiatives
The Diia app is experiencing significant load due to the large number of people wanting to take advantage of the program, so users are advised to try again later in case of service disruptions.
Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky instructed the government to develop a comprehensive “winter support” program, which will start in December. Among the new initiatives is the transportation support program “UZ-3000,” which will allow Ukrainians to travel for free by train across the country for distances up to three thousand kilometers.
In 2024, there was also a program for one-time assistance of one thousand hryvnias aimed at supporting the population during the winter period. These funds allowed for the payment of utility bills, purchasing medications, using transportation, mobile communication, buying Ukrainian books, and making other essential expenses, as well as supporting the military.
Currently, the Verkhovna Rada is preparing to review the draft state budget for 2026 in its second reading against the backdrop of ongoing resistance to Russian aggression, which has been ongoing for over three years. According to the Ministry of Finance, the government continues to direct all internal financial resources towards defense, while hoping for support from international partners to cover social expenditures.
