Who will receive 19 400 hryvnias for winter
The bulk of the funds – 2,01 billion hryvnias – will be provided by UNICEF with the support of the governments of Germany, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States, as well as national committees of the organization. The corresponding agreement was secured in a exchange of letters signed by UNICEF and the Ministry of Social Policy, Family and Unity of Ukraine on 6 August.
The money will be credited to the Humanitarian Response and Resilience Account, opened by the ministry at the National Bank of Ukraine. Assistance will be directed to people living near the frontline. Specifically, this includes families with children and their guardians.
Under the program, more than 104 thousand households will receive 19 400 hryvnias each. The funds will not have a strictly earmarked purpose – families will be able to decide themselves what winter needs to spend them on.

Where the money can be spent and how to receive it
Separately, 223,8 million hryvnias for winter support has already been transferred by the Ukrainian Red Cross, with support from the U.S. government. These funds are also planned for payments of 19 400 hryvnias per household.
The money can be used for solid fuel, warm clothes and footwear, payment of housing and communal services, and other necessary expenses related to preparing for the heating season 2026/2027 years.
Payments will be conducted by the Pension Fund of Ukraine based on information from state registries. According to available information, there is no need to submit a separate application – funds are expected to automatically be credited to the active pension accounts or cards on which people already receive social payments.
The Ministry of Social Policy together with the Pension Fund will determine recipients, verify their data, and organize payments in accordance with the mechanism approved by the government.
Minister of Social Policy, Family and Unity Denys Ulyutin emphasized that the program is not only financial support for families before winter but also demonstrates the trust of international partners in the Ukrainian welfare system.
Member of Parliament Pavlo Frolov, in turn, noted that payments are not targeted. That is, recipients will be able to independently decide what is most urgent for their family before the cold weather.
