Starting 11 December, UAH 1,000 from the 'Winter Support' program can be spent on food products made in Ukraine, provided payment is made with the 'National Cashback' card.

The funds cannot be used to purchase excise goods.

Retail networks and restrictions

At present, the payment option is available in the retail networks of Fozzy Group (Silpo, Fora, THRASH!ТРАШ!, Fozzy) and in the 'Blyzenko' network. The service can be used in over 1,100 stores across the country — the list of stores is expected to be expanded.

Online purchases are temporarily not covered by this option.

Usage period and current status

If the funds arrived on the 'National Cashback' card via the 'Diia' app, they can be used until 30 June 2026. Recipients of assistance through Ukrposhta must use the payment by the end of February 2026.

  • The Cabinet of Ministers began payments of UAH 1,000 on 24 November to those who applied on the first day the program started.
  • Demand for the payment in 2025 was higher than in 2024.
  • The 'winter support' package combines new and existing programs, including 'UZ-3000'.
  • The program continues to face criticism regarding its appropriateness.
