More than 2.5 million applications for winter support - Zelenskyy

More than 2.5 million Ukrainians have applied for winter support through Diia - Zelenskyy

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the winter support programme has already been applied for more than 2.5 million applications through the Diia app. Among them are more than 300 thousand for children. According to the President, this pace demonstrates the obvious timeliness and demand for this initiative among citizens.

Expanding application opportunities

Zelensky announced that starting on Tuesday, Ukrainians will be able to apply not only through Diia, but also at Ukrposhta offices«, The programme will cover people who do not have smartphones or stable Internet access. The President stressed that the government would provide full funding for the programme and that its implementation would continue without interruption.

Programme context

Winter support is one of the government's key social initiatives aimed at helping families and citizens most affected by Russian attacks and the economic consequences of the war. Massive attacks on the energy infrastructure make the programme critically important ahead of the cold season.
