About 9 million Ukrainians will use the winter eSupport program, predicts Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

"Over these three months, we expect that all people who need it will register. It is difficult to estimate now. In previous programs, the number of people fluctuated from 9 million for the first time to 4.7 million in the first weeks of the war. Therefore, taking into account that the first time we had 9 million people, we expect that the number will be comparable. Perhaps more, perhaps within these limits," Shmyhal said on the air of the national telethon on Monday.

The prime minister reported that at the moment, 3.2 million citizens have already applied for the winter eSupport program.

As reported, an application for receiving UAH 1,000 under the winter eSupport program can be submitted through Diia during the winter of 2024/2025, and the funds can be spent during 2025. In particular, the aid can be spent on medicines, books, clothing, bus and train tickets, to pay for utilities, or the funds can be redirected to charitable accounts of the Security and Defense Forces or a volunteer fund.
