According to her, the Cabinet of Ministers is working on launching programs, among other things:

→ the possibility of a one-time payment for all Ukrainian citizens for the winter ("familiar to Ukrainians since last winter");

→ new financial assistance for citizens "most affected by the war or in difficult life circumstances" (including IDPs, people who lost their jobs due to the war, and low-income families);

→ a new program of free travel around Ukraine for all citizens from Ukrzaliznytsia – 3000 kilometers;

→ a comprehensive health checkup for people aged 40+ this winter.

Last year's "winter eSupport" took advantage of 14.4 million Ukrainians.

  • Revenue of the state budget for 2026, revenues are tentatively planned at UAH 2.8 trillion, while expenditures are more than UAH 4.8 trillion. If the amount of eSupport remains at the level of 1000 hryvnias, its volume within the state will amount to only 0.3% of total expenditures.

  • Last year's winter eSupport program faced the criticism. In particular, because of redirection of UAH 3.8 billion from the business support and demining program to finance the National Cashback and one-time payments.
