Immediately at the stabilization point, IDPs will be able to receive a consultation from a medical professional. If necessary, the evacuee is transferred to one of the medical facilities, where they receive treatment for 30 days.
During this time, a social specialist works with the person, conducting an individual needs assessment, informing about all available services, and helping with finding housing.
From now on, IDPs from the category of citizens with limited mobility will be able to use a new social housing service that helps them not only find a home, but also integrate into the community.
The state has provided support for providers of this social service through co-financing from the state and budgets of territorial communities from which citizens were evacuated. The service provider not only provides IDPs with limited mobility with a bed, but also provides assistance with housekeeping and self-service.
A new approach to helping families in difficult life circumstances – basic social assistance – will be launched in Ukraine. This assistance aims to unite a number of existing social benefits into a single system, simplifying the process of receiving them and reducing bureaucracy.
The amount of basic social assistance, which is established by the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers for a calendar year, is envisaged at the level of 4,500 UAH. 100% of this basic amount for an authorized family representative, children under 18 years of age and persons with disabilities of groups I and II. For others - 70% of the basic amount.
The Government will also provide an additional one-time payment in addition to housing assistance to internally displaced persons who have worked continuously for a six-month period.
The main goal of the support is to encourage employment and self-employment of internally displaced persons of working age. The amount of the payment is 2,000 UAH.
The state is allocating UAH 1 billion for local governments to build, renovate, and re-equip temporary housing for IDPs. An important condition is that all housing must be adapted for people with limited mobility.
The Cabinet of Ministers has approved the relevant subvention. For communities in Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhia, Chernihiv, Sumy and Kherson regions, the work can be financed 100% from subvention funds. For all other regions and the city of Kyiv, the work can be financed no more than 60% from subvention funds and 40% from local budgets.
IDPs from among the recipients of benefits or housing subsidies throughout Ukraine, namely 32,000 households, will be able to receive assistance from the state budget for the purchase of solid fuel. Assistance will be available to those who have not yet received funds for fuel from international organizations, in particular in frontline areas. The average amount of payments will reach 8,000 UAH.
The Verkhovna Rada Ukraine voted in the second reading on draft law No. 11543 on the introduction of security measures in secondary education institutions.
The main goal of the document is to create clear legal mechanisms to guarantee a safe educational environment in schools.
The draft law, in particular, provides for the establishment of clear rules for the presence of unauthorized persons on the territory of an educational institution, fencing off the territory or establishing its boundaries, as well as equipping educational institutions with technical security equipment, including emergency police call buttons.
Persons who have an outstanding or unexpired criminal record, have been found guilty of crimes against sexual freedom or sexual integrity, or have been held accountable for domestic violence, bullying, or failure to fulfill child-rearing responsibilities will not be allowed to work or participate in the educational process.
In addition, the draft list of categories of persons who will be prohibited from being in school.
The costs associated with security measures in public and municipal schools will be covered by the founder of the institution or other legitimate sources. Students and their parents will not be involved in this funding.
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has supported the changes initiated by the Ministry of Social Policy, Family and Unity, which strengthen the protection of single parents and guarantee equal rights of women and men in raising children. These include amendments to the draft Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses to Ensure Equal Rights and Opportunities of Women and Men" and the elimination of discriminatory norms from the legislation regarding single male parents who raise children on their own.
If previously administrative arrest was not applied only to women with children under 12 years old, now this guarantee will also apply to men who raise children on their own. That is, men who are not married and raise children due to the death of their mother or her recognition as missing, now have the same guarantees of protection. Also, for a father who raises a child under one year old on his own, the law establishes mitigation of liability for administrative offenses.
In times of war, the number of cases where a child is left with only one parent increases. The adopted changes strengthen the legal protection of children and their parents and comply with European standards of equality and human rights. In particular, this will help children avoid the stress of separation from their father and the deterioration of their mental health.
The decision "is an important step in ensuring fairness and equal opportunities for all parents raising children on their own."

At the same time, the changes will not have a significant impact on exchange rate dynamics and the level of international reserves.
Taking into account the appeal of postal operators regarding the suspension of the duty-free regime for goods imported for consumption in the United States and a thorough analysis of the potential impact of such a decision on the foreign exchange market, the National Bank allows postal operators and international transport carriers to make cross-border transfers for the purpose of paying customs payments, the final recipients of which are the US customs/tax authorities, starting from September 18, 2025.
In addition, clarifying changes have been made regarding the application of limits for client transactions outside Ukraine from hryvnia accounts using personal and corporate electronic payment instruments. The clarifications concern the use of limits depending on the status of an individual - a bank client who simultaneously has different accounts with the bank, opened both for business activities and for personal needs.
