I recently received 1000 hryvnias under the 'Winter Support' program. Please tell me, can these funds be used to top up a mobile account? This is not mentioned in the list of permitted categories, which raises doubts about the legality of such spending.

All categories where you can spend the state funds were published by the Ministry of Economy.

Here is where you can spend the 1000 hryvnia support payment:

  • payment for utility services;
  • postal services;
  • food products;
  • medicines and medical products;
  • books, magazines, newspapers;
  • charity, including donations to the army.

The answer is informational and does not replace a full legal consultation. For a detailed analysis of your situation, contact a lawyer directly.
