This initiative provides a one-time payment of up to 95,000 hryvnias, intended to help cover the cost of household appliances and assistive devices that enhance daily living.

Beyond easing their day-to-day challenges, it reflects Ukraine’s ongoing commitment to caring for those who defended the nation. Cooperation with the Red Cross highlights a successful model of collaboration between government agencies and non-governmental organizations in delivering social assistance.
