The Cabinet of Ministers Ukrainian government has approved a draft law to increase the onetime monetary compensation for families of deceased nonregular fighters the civilians who were not part of the regular armed forces or any other military unit but voluntarily defended Ukraine at the start of Russias fullscale invasion of Ukraine ed..
Source Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal Details Initially, at the start of the fullscale invasion, families of civilians who were killed in action defending Ukraine were entitled to compensation of 1.9 million UAH about US46,000. We propose increasing this to 15 million UAH US361,000, which we believe is both right and fair.
This will help support the families of those who were killed defending our state and its future, he stated. The draft law provides for compensation to the families of civilians who were killed between 24 February and 25 March 2022 while defending Ukraine alongside regular military units.
Additionally, the legislation clarifies the criteria for granting the status of a family member of a deceased defender of Ukraine.
Families who have already received partial compensation will be paid the difference to reach the new total of 15 million UAH.
The draft law has been submitted to the Verkhovna Rada Ukrainian parliament for consideration.
