Zelenskyi instructed the Cabinet of Ministers to prepare a "winter support" program
The President of Ukraine has instructed to prepare a comprehensive "winter support" program, which will come into effect in December.

This is written by ThePublic.info, citing a video address by the president. According to Zelensky, the package will include several areas of assistance.

The president clarified that specific programs are planned for lonely elderly people, large families, residents of combat zones, and other vulnerable categories. The president also emphasized that the state will maintain fixed prices for gas and electricity for household consumers.

«No increases – neither for gas nor for electricity», – assured Zelensky.

Additionally, the president announced the launch of the transportation support program «UZ-3000», which will allow Ukrainians to travel by train within the country for free over distances up to three thousand kilometers.

«Three thousand kilometers, so that everyone can choose railway routes within Ukraine for free: Lviv - Kyiv, Kyiv – Dnipro, or any others. Three thousand kilometers for free», – Zelensky explained.

The Ministry of Health is preparing to launch a mass medical check-up project, which will allow every Ukrainian to undergo basic examinations starting from January.

«I have instructed the government to complete the preparation of this «winter support» in the coming weeks and to present the details of the package by November 15, so that people can start using it», – the president said.
