The head of the regional state administration added that among the IDPs, women are provided with a monthly allowance of 75 dollars, which will be paid for three months. Primarily for mothers of minors and children with multiple children, the disabled and the elderly.

The peculiarity of this financial aid is that it accrues to cryptocurrency. From there it should be transferred to a bank card. The Palyanytsia charity initiative is helping these people.

In the first phase of this initiative, it is planned to cover five thousand internally displaced persons. Thousands have already signed up and received funding. The money was received within a week from the date of registration.

As Ukrinform reported, more than UAH 5.8 billion was allocated in April for the payment of housing assistance to IDPs, of which UAH 633 million was transferred last week.
