«a thousand Zelensky» Zelenskyy said that he would give out 1,000 hryvnias to each person at expense of state budget

Zelenskyy promised to give Ukrainians a thousand hryvnias each: who will get it and what they can spend it on 

According to the President of Ukraine, Ukrainians will receive a thousand each from 1 December this year. He said that this program will be ‘tangible for every family’.
It is expected that all Ukrainians - adults and children - will receive one thousand hryvnias through the ePerformance programme. For example, if your family consists of two adults and two children, you will receive UAH 4,000.
The money can be spent on Ukrainian goods and services, such as utility bills, railway tickets, or Ukrainian-made medicines. It can also be spent on Ukrainian books, cultural services, and, of course, on the military or volunteers to buy drones.

As the President explained,
the Cabinet of Ministers has to determine all the details and present them to the people.

‘I expect this to happen soon. On 1 December, people should have the money,’ --- Zelenskyy said.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has instructed the government to introduce a new programme called "E-Support" starting from 1 December, under which every citizen will receive UAH 1,000.

He said this in his traditional evening address, Censor.NET reports.

"Preparations for the coming months should be underway at all levels of our country. The heating season. Winter. A lot of work in the energy sector is about protecting facilities and working on system stability. Regions are preparing, communities are preparing. The military is preparing. In addition to these systemic things, there are decisions that can be made directly to support people. I have instructed the government to introduce a new programme starting from 1 December that will be tangible for every family in Ukraine. There is support for all our people - adults, children, every family in Ukraine. One thousand hryvnias per person - that's several thousand hryvnias per family - and the money can be spent on Ukrainian goods and services, including utilities and electricity. Tickets - this is Ukrzaliznytsia. Ukrainian medicines. He also instructed that the money could be spent on Ukrainian books and cultural services. You can donate to the military - to volunteers, to drones. The Cabinet of Ministers has to determine all the details and present it to the people. I expect this to happen soon. On 1 December, people should have the money," Zelenskyy said.

In 2008, then-Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko launched a programme to pay compensation to depositors of the former USSR Sberbank. Under the programme, depositors of the USSR Sberbank received UAH 1,000. At that time, Yulia's Thousand, as the programme was popularly called, cost the budget UAH 5 billion.

«a thousand Zelensky» 




Secretary of the Economic Development Committee called "absurd" "thousands of Zelensky"

Monday, October 28, 2024, 11:55 - 
Yaroslav Ruszczyn believes that these funds could be channeled either in the form of investments or provide targeted assistance to the poor, and not to all citizens
Yaroslav Ruszczyn believes that these funds could be channeled either in the form of investments or provide targeted assistance to the poor, and not to all citizens

This opinion was expressed by the Secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development Yaroslav Ruszczyszyn

Ruszczyn believes that the government could be shocked by Vladimir Zelensky's initiative. According to him, these funds could be channeled either in the form of investments, which would have an economic effect, or provide targeted assistance to the poor, and not to all citizens.

The People's Deputy believes that the distribution of money will not have a positive effect on the economy. At the same time, it can have social consequences. Rushchyszyn says the decision is "absurd."

"We teach people to get money for nothing, no money earned. And it's very bad. And how do we say, how do we explain this to our partners who give us money for the war, and we say that there is not enough money for the war, and here we distribute it? "he said.

According to Rushchyszyn, the military "transmits funds to their families, who should support the same economy accordingly."

"Such big money, and it gives nothing in the economy, and here we will add a thousand, and it will give. That is, I do not see much logic in this. And this is the first reason for such absurdity of this decision. The state should only take care of those who cannot take care of themselves, – said the secretary of the committee.

Instead, the government is assured that the money will be able to support Ukrainian small and medium-sized businesses.

  • At the same time, Ruszczyn noted that the parliament does not have enough powers to ban the issuance of money to Ukrainians on this initiative.

Let's remind:

Zelensky instructed the government will introduce a new program from December 1, which will be tangible for every family in Ukraine.

A thousand hryvnia of state aid, which since December will get Ukrainians, will accrue on the card "National Cashback", it will be the funds of partners in the existing programs, which do not have time to master by the end of the year.
