We would like to remind you that from May 10, 2023, the compensation program for damaged housing «eVidnovlennia» will be in effect in Ukraine.

«eVidnovlennia» in Mykolaiv Oblast

In June 2023, Mykolaiv Oblast entered the top five oblasts, where the largest number of applications for the «eVidnovlennia» program were submitted. However, the region has the lowest rates of consideration of these applications. Therefore, the Ministry of Reconstruction called on the Mykolaiv commissions to speed up their processing: «This depends on the ability of the owners to receive assistance in the shortest possible time for the restoration of housing before the autumn and winter cold.»

However, already according to the general results of 2023, the Mykolaiv region entered the top five regions, which are the leaders in terms of the amount of compensation received for damaged property within the framework of the «eVidnovlennia» program.

As of September 2024, since the start of the «eVidnovlennia» program, residents of the Mykolaiv region have received a total of over 1.3 billion hryvnias in compensation for damaged and destroyed housing.
