Recipients with the highest state benefits for Independence Day celebrations
In Ukraine, several one-time financial aid programs have been initiated to assist various categories of citizens. One of the notable programs is the "Student Package," launched in August 2025, providing UAH 5,000 to parents or legal representatives of children entering first grade for school preparation expenses[1][2].
Beyond the "Student Package," other groups are also eligible for one-time financial aid. For instance, participants in combat actions affected during the Revolution of Dignity, as well as former underage prisoners of concentration camps and children born in places of forced parental detention, will receive a separate sum of 1,000 hryvnias[3].
The aim of these programs is to provide support to individuals who have made significant contributions to the state, have endured military trials, or have been affected by repression. The funding for these payments is aimed at social justice and supporting those who have suffered significant losses and hardships at different periods in the country's history[4].
The amount of payments varies depending on the recipient's status and the extent of the approved benefits. People with a II group disability will receive 2,900 hryvnias, and the III group will receive 2,700 hryvnias[5]. The largest sums are allocated to individuals with a special contribution to the development of the state and citizens with a I group disability, obtained as a result of the war[6].
Furthermore, a fixed one-time payment of UAH 650 is provided for family members of fallen defenders of Ukraine and participants in combat actions, as well as widows and widowers who have not remarried[7].
These support measures are given when the deceased had a war-related disability, participated in combat actions, or was a victim of Nazi persecution[8]. The funds will be distributed by August 24 to allow recipients to use them during the holiday period[9].
The conditions for providing funds have been established by the state to ensure timely assistance and reduce the burden on family budgets[10]. It's worth noting that the "Student Package" remains the prominent example of such targeted one-time assistance currently implemented[1][2].
For Ukrainian refugees in Europe, financial assistance varies depending on the host country. Refugees may receive one-time or monthly payments ranging from roughly €230 one-time or monthly stipends between €55 and €441, depending on local policies and family circumstances[3].
