Ukrainian veterans who have completely or partially lost their sight due to the war will receive a one-time cash benefit of up to UAH 95 000.

This was reported by the Ministry of Veterans Affairs of Ukraine.

This program starts today. The Ukrainian Red Cross will provide financial assistance that can be spent on improving everyday life and living space.

For this purpose, 26 types of household appliances are provided. Among them are smartphones that speak the screen, special household appliances, and navigation systems.

"You can submit an application in person, through an authorized representative, by mail or online to the structural unit for veteran policy at your place of residence (for IDPs — at the address of actual residence)," said Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.

This payment can be received regardless of other types of assistance.
