Denys Ulyutin Engages with Evacuated Families from Oleshky, Facilitating Rehabilitation Support and Financial Aid

Meeting with Families of Evacuated Children

According to Міністерство соц. політики: Denys Ulyutin recently held a meeting with families whose children were evacuated from the temporarily occupied city of Oleshky. These families are currently safe and receiving rehabilitation at a center operated by the Ministry of Social Policy. Case managers conducted thorough interviews with each family to identify their specific needs and ensure they receive appropriate assistance.

Comprehensive Support Measures

The aid package provided to these families includes:

• Restoration of lost or damaged official documents;
• Processing of state relocation assistance payments amounting to 50,000 hryvnias per child;
• Resolving housing-related issues;
• Enrolling children in educational institutions.

Ongoing support will be offered through a newly established social reintegration service designed to help these families rebuild their lives.

The coordination of this effort is managed by the Ministry of Social Policy, Families and Unity of Ukraine, the Office of the Ukrainian Ombudsman, and the Coordination Center for Family Care and Child Welfare. UNICEF Ukraine is a key partner in this initiative. Dmitry Lubinets received special recognition for overseeing the humanitarian mission that facilitated the evacuation.

As one woman shared, “For the first time in a long while, we felt truly human again.”

This program highlights the critical importance of supporting families affected by conflict and assisting their reintegration into society. The combined efforts of government bodies and organizations to meet essential needs-such as education, housing, and social services-play a vital role in restoring stability amid crisis conditions. Moreover, this initiative sets a valuable precedent for other regions facing similar humanitarian challenges.

As part of ongoing humanitarian efforts, similar initiatives have successfully facilitated the evacuation of children from conflict zones, such as the recent operation that brought 23 children to safety through the Bring Kids Back UA initiative. These coordinated actions underscore the urgent need for comprehensive support systems aimed at helping displaced families rebuild their lives amidst ongoing challenges.
