Residents of the Mykolaiv region will receive money for the purchase of solid fuel

The UN refugee agency allocates an additional 7 million dollars for programs to purchase firewood, coal and pellets for the population. Residents of Mykolaiv Oblast will also receive assistance.

This was reported by the Ministry of Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine.

Together with the $7 million, the program's total budget will be $37 million, it said.

This program provides for a one-time payment of 21,000 hryvnias for the purchase of solid household fuel for vulnerable households in the Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson, and Mykolaiv regions.

Deputy Head of the Office of the President Iryna Vereshchuk noted that more than 20,000 households that have undergone identification should receive assistance.

We will remind that the head of Mykolaiv RMA Vitalii Kim said that the region is better prepared for the winter period than in previous seasons. But despite this, the operation of the power system will depend on the number of shellings and their consequences.
