New Opportunities for Veterans: How to Receive Government Support for Sports Activities
Since October 1, Ukraine has launched the «Veteran Sports» program aimed at supporting war veterans and participants of combat operations in their pursuit of sports achievements and active lifestyles.
This initiative provides veterans with a monthly financial aid of 1500 UAH from the government, which they can use for sports-related expenses.
Eligible costs include gym memberships, swimming pool visits, sports clubs, and fitness centers.
To access this support, veterans need to open a «Diia.Card».
It is important to note that if the total cost of activities exceeds the allocated 1500 UAH, the government covers the fixed amount, and the remaining balance must be paid by the veteran personally.
If veterans have already received payments under this program in previous quarters, new funds are automatically credited to their existing account.
To obtain the «Diia.Card», one must log into the «Diia» mobile application, select «Services» in the menu, then «Diia.Card» and choose a bank (such as «PrivaBank», «MonoBank», «Credit Dnipro», or «àBank»).
Afterward, they need to sign an agreement using «Diia.Sign».
Previously, Ukraine launched the «Diia.Card» to facilitate access to all types of government payouts and support programs.
