Co-founder of the NGO “IDPs of Ukraine” Maksym Tkachenko, on air of the telementalon (telethon) “Unified News,” stated the need to index benefits for internally displaced persons and to increase funding for government programs supporting IDPs.
According to Tkachenko, funds to support IDPs can be found, in particular, by reviewing programs that do not yield the expected results. He emphasized that funding should be directed toward measures that provide real help to IDPs.
Separately, a representative of the NGO “IDPs of Ukraine” urged indexing the payments for IDPs. Currently, aid amounts to 2 thousand hryvnias per adult and 3 thousand hryvnias per child or a person with a disability. Tkachenko noted that against the backdrop of rising cost of living, the current size of payments needs to be reviewed.
He also advocated scrapping, in his view, discriminatory approaches to IDP children who study online. In his opinion, the form of study should not affect a child’s right to receive assistance.
In addition, the NGO “IDPs of Ukraine” plans to push for increased funding for the “eRecovery” program in the state budget for next year. This also involves expanding the categories of people from temporarily occupied territories who will be able to apply for compensation.
Tkachenko stressed that the problems of internally displaced persons require not only public discussion but also concrete state-level decisions.
