According to a new decision, the government will start providing quarterly assistance of 1500 hryvnias to cover costs for physical education and sports activities.
Official Statement and Program Conditions
Government representative in the Verkhovna Rada, Taras Melnychuk, announced that the approved procedure stipulates that allocated funds can only be used for cashless payments for services from officially registered sports service providers within Ukraine.
It is emphasized that services may only be provided by legal entities or individual entrepreneurs who possess the corresponding seller category code — 7941.
How to Access Support
The Ministry of Veterans Affairs of Ukraine clarified that after the program launches, combatants and individuals with disabilities will be able to apply for assistance through the "Dія" app. Funds will be automatically credited to the veteran's special account quarterly for a year.
These funds can be used for attending:
- gyms;
- swimming pools;
- other institutions related to physical education and sports.
When the Program Starts
The acceptance of applications is planned to begin as early as January. A detailed participation mechanism in the program, including step-by-step instructions and a list of registered service providers, will be published later.
This project aims to support the physical and psychological needs of veterans, providing them with the opportunity to improve their health and adapt to civilian life. The Ministry of Veterans Affairs expresses confidence that this initiative will become an important tool for the rehabilitation and integration of combatants into society.
