This was announced by Prime Minister Yulia Svirydenko.
She said that 70 million euros will go to the project “HOME: compensation for destroyed housing.”
“These are another 1,500 housing certificates for the Restoration and the opportunity for 4,000 families to purchase new homes to replace the destroyed ones. Priority is given to Defenders, people with disabilities, and large families,” the official explained.
