The program will start on December 1, 2024 and provides for the payment of UAH 1,000 to each Ukrainian, except for foreigners.
Ukrainians who do not have access to “Diya” will be able to receive a “thousand from Zelensky” through the branch “Ukrposhta”.
This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Economy at the request of UNN.
The ministry is developing such a mechanism. President Zelensky's thousand can be used during the three winter months of 2024-2025.
Mechanism for receiving “ye Pidtrimki” payments through a Ukrposhta branch
For citizens who do not have access to “Diia”, it is possible to receive “support” payments through a Ukrposhta branch. This is currently in the development stage.
As explained by the ministry, due to the war, the number of socially vulnerable citizens has increased, and the goal of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the government is to support each person.
“It is assumed that the mechanism of the “e Pidtrimka” program will be universal, not selective, so that citizens of all categories throughout the country can receive funds. We cannot foresee which specific objects and cities the Russians can shell, and where people will need help the most. The only exception will be those citizens who have gone abroad,” the Ministry of Economy explained.
They added that each person will receive assistance, both adults and children. After all, one parent will be able to order a payment to their account for each of their children.
“A mechanism for receiving support funds through Ukrposhta branches is also currently being developed – for the convenience of those citizens who do not have smartphones and access to the action. These funds will not be taxed,” the Ministry of Economy reported.
They added that the program will come into effect on December 1, 2024.
How to apply for “a thousand from Zelensky”
An application for participation in the program can be submitted through the “Diia” application in December, January or February 2024-2025.
To do this, you need to activate the National Cashback card. The payment will be sent to this card. You can spend 1,000 UAH during 2025 to pay for utilities and other services, buy medicines, books or donate to funds supporting the Defense Forces.
Meanwhile, Ukrainians are demanding that Zelensky not give them a thousand hryvnia. Similar petitions have appeared on the president's website.
