The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has redistributed budget funds to finance the Winter eSupport initiative.
The Cabinet of Ministers has redistributed the budget: 3.8 billion hryvnias will go to Winter eSupport, said the Permanent Representative of the Cabinet of Ministers to the Verkhovna Rada, Taras Melnychuk.
Thus, the government has reduced funding for:
• the program “Partial compensation for the cost of agricultural machinery and equipment of domestic production” – by 99.8 million hryvnias;
• the program “Providing state support for the implementation of investment projects with significant investments” – by 1.76 billion hryvnias;
• the program “Compensation of costs for humanitarian demining of agricultural lands” – by 2 billion hryvnias.
The Winter eSupport program is part of the All-Ukrainian economic platform “Made in Ukraine”. The assistance provides for the provision of a state cash payment in the amount of one thousand hryvnias to citizens to stimulate the purchase of Ukrainian goods and services. The government believes that this will contribute to the development of domestic business and support the economy in challenging conditions.
USM previously reported that Nibulon will receive certification for demining agricultural land without state participation.
