The Ministry of Reintegration has a Commission for establishing the fact of deprivation of personal liberty as a result of armed aggression against Ukraine.
It establishes the fact that military and civilians, including those released from captivity, have been held in captivity. The Commission is composed of representatives of state bodies and specialized public organizations.
After the Commission establishes the fact of deprivation of personal liberty, the Ministry of Reintegration pays a one-time financial assistance from the state in the amount of 100 thousand hryvnias to persons released from captivity.
The Ministry also pays annual state aid in the amount of 100 thousand hryvnias for each year of captivity to former prisoners of war or family members of those who are still in captivity.
To receive these financial benefits from the state, you need to contact the Ministry of Reintegration. The algorithm of actions and the list of required documents can be found here.
A sample application for establishing the fact of deprivation of personal liberty as a result of armed aggression against Ukraine is available here, and an application for state financial assistance is available here.
If you have any questions about receiving assistance from the state, those released from captivity and family members of prisoners of war can contact the Ministry of Reintegration by phone: (044) 355-14-56 and (097) 901-55-71 (Viber, WhatsApp).
