The program for humanitarian assistance to displaced persons from Ukraine has been extended by a month, the government press service reported. During this time, humanitarian assistance will continue to be provided to Ukrainian citizens in need under differentiated conditions according to the type of accommodation.

The extended period will be used to complete the new program, which will build on the existing support through an integration approach. The main goal is the long-term inclusion of Ukrainian citizens in the social and economic life of the country.

Key institutions will be involved in the development and implementation of the new program - the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy, the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Tourism, and the Ministry of Interior. International and non-governmental organizations will also participate in the integration process, which will provide legal, psychological and social support to displaced persons.
