Real money instead of promises
In the Irpin community, implementation of the state support program for those affected by the war, "єВідновлення", continues. According to official data cited by the first deputy mayor of Irpin, Oleksandr Pashchynskyi, 4,700 families have already received compensation for repair works — in total more than 745 million UAH.
What has been done
In addition to payments for repairs, residents of the community whose housing was completely destroyed as a result of hostilities have been granted compensations totaling more than 2.7 billion UAH. This is not a one-off aid — it is part of a systemic approach to restoring the housing stock and returning people to the community.
Why it matters
In short — the money addresses three key tasks: safety of return (people receive livable housing or funds to restore it), economic stabilization of the community (work, contractors, demand for materials), and trust in state recovery mechanisms. Experts note that the conversion of applications into real payments is the best marker of the effectiveness of recovery programs.
"The 'єВідновлення' program turns words into money: thousands of families have already received assistance, and billions have been directed to rebuild the hardest-hit cases"
— Oleksandr Pashchynskyi, first deputy mayor of Irpin
What's next
The clear next step is to ensure transparent and efficient use of these funds so that payments are transformed into rebuilt apartments and restored streets. How quickly people can return and begin to revive the local economy depends on this. The ball is now in the court of local authorities and state institutions: to scale up practices that work and remove bottlenecks in the payment process.
