December 2023: Key Events for Ukrainians

December 2023 is a crucial month for Ukrainians as it marks the time for the completion of payment applications, mobilization changes, and the new state budget for 2026. Among the important deadlines to consider is the application deadline for the 'Winter Support' program, which ends on December 24. This program is available for Ukrainians living in the controlled territories, and as of November 27, over 13 million individuals have applied for participation.

Social Payments and Mobilization Changes

Another important milestone is the application for 6500 UAH for people in difficult life circumstances. This deadline ends on December 17. Pensioners living abroad or in occupied territories must complete identification by December 31 to continue receiving their payments.

• Starting December 1, monthly payments for the families of the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred have increased to 12971 UAH.
• From December 1, a compensation program for lost housing for internally displaced persons who are military personnel will be launched, totaling 2 million UAH.

In the area of mobilization, from December 4, enterprises can reserve military conscripts who have issues with military registration. The Verkhovna Rada plans to consider the state budget for 2026 at the beginning of December, which will be an important stage for the further development of the country.

Starting December 14, a new train schedule for 'Ukrzaliznytsia' will also come into effect, and from December 1, the UZ-3000 program, which allows for free travel over 3000 km, will be launched.

December 2023 promises to be rich in significant events regarding social payments, mobilization changes, and the new budget.

This month is critically important for many Ukrainians who are awaiting support from the state during difficult times.

Considering the numerous social assistance programs and changes in mobilization policy, December may become a period of stabilization for many families. The adoption of a new state budget will determine the country's priorities for the coming years, which is particularly relevant in the context of war and economic challenges.
