The draft decision states that 20,000 hryvnias will be paid to civilians who were injured as a result of rocket attacks on the territory of the city. Previously, this amount was 10 thousand hryvnias.

Also, one-time assistance of 30,000 hryvnias will be paid to the families of the dead civilians in the city. Before that, 20 thousand hryvnias were paid each.

In addition, by the decision of the Executive Committee, a new item was introduced into the list of measures of the «Social Protection» program regarding reimbursement of the cost of erecting tombstones for citizens who died (deceased) as a result of enemy shelling.
