Ukraine has extended its program of charging stations for children with disabilities
Ukraine has extended the program under which families of children with disabilities in subgroup A receive portable charging stations free of charge. Assistance will be provided first and foremost to families who have already submitted applications but have not yet received the equipment. To this end, the government has reallocated funds from the state budget.
The Cabinet of Ministers has extended the program to provide portable charging stations to children with disabilities in subgroup A. This decision will support families who have already applied for assistance but were unable to receive the equipment during the previous phase of the program.
These are portable charging stations with an approximate capacity of 2 kWh. They are particularly important for families whose children use medical equipment that requires a constant power supply or have other vital needs related to electricity. During prolonged power outages, these stations help ensure the uninterrupted operation of essential devices and significantly improve the quality of life for these families. The Ministry explained that the program will be extended through the reallocation of state budget expenditures. “The program for the procurement and delivery of portable charging stations with an approximate capacity of 2 kWh for children with disabilities in subgroup A will be extended through the reallocation of state budget expenditures,” the ministry reported.
First and foremost, the equipment will be provided to families who have already submitted applications but did not receive charging stations during the previous phase of the program. “This will allow us to provide charging stations to families who have already submitted applications but did not receive assistance during the previous phase of the program,” the Ministry of Social Policy noted. The State Agency for Energy Efficiency and Energy Conservation of Ukraine will handle the procurement of the equipment. It will be responsible for purchasing the charging stations and subsequently distributing them to families.
The extension of the program is intended to help even more families raising children with disabilities who need a reliable backup power source. This remains particularly important under martial law, when the risk of power outages persists in various regions of the country. Thanks to the government’s decision, families already awaiting assistance will be able to receive the necessary equipment without having to resubmit their documents, and the program itself will continue to operate. This was reported by the Ministry of Social Policy, Family, and Unity.
The Third Administrative Court of Appeal ruled that the mobilization of a man raising three minor children was lawful. The court concluded that the mere fact of having multiple children does not guarantee an automatic deferment from conscription.
