“The average amount of benefits in November is about UAH 800 per person, for subsidies – more than UAH 1,200 per household. More cases of receiving subsidies have been recorded due to their amount is larger. For recipients of benefits, a small discount of 20-25% is provided,” the deputy minister emphasized.
