Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov said that more than 2.4 million Ukrainians currently live in damaged or destroyed housing. The list of injured people is updated every day.

The government plans to settle the issue of compensation to people for destroyed housing and for this purpose submitted draft law No. 7198, the purpose of which is to establish a clear and understandable algorithm.

Regarding financing, Kubrakov notes that Ukraine hopes for seized Russian assets.
