People in the Vyshneve community whose homes were destroyed or damaged by the 6 July missile strike are receiving not only money but also humanitarian and psychological help.

This was reported by Vyshneve City Council.

What the 6 July strike destroyed

The 6 July missile strike was one of the largest the community has suffered since the start of the full-scale invasion. According to council figures as of 13:00 on 8 July, 8 people were killed and 13 injured people went to hospital.

According to the same figures, the strike damaged 253 private houses, 91 of which can no longer be restored, as well as 27 apartment blocks.

Who has already received money

Councillors adopted the first decisions on financial support for the victims at a session on 13 July. The main channel for the aid became the city’s Turbota (Care) social protection programme for 2026–2028.

The programme provides different types of payments depending on the nature and extent of the damage to a home. Councillors amended it again at the next session.

Under an executive committee decision of 21 August, 185 people received aid totalling 4.125 million hryvnias. In particular, 63 owners and co-owners of damaged homes received 2.895 million hryvnias.

Another 1.05 million hryvnias went to 113 people, including children, who were registered at or actually lived in damaged homes. A further 180,000 hryvnias was allocated for health holidays for 9 children.

Separately, 280,000 hryvnias was paid to 7 people who arranged the funerals of those killed.

Who is being paid now

According to the council, another 152 victims are now being paid 4.305 million hryvnias under an executive committee decision of 14 September. Of this sum, 2.06 million hryvnias is earmarked for 46 owners and co-owners of damaged homes.

Another 485,000 hryvnias will go to 58 registered and actual residents of damaged homes, including children. A total of 140,000 hryvnias has been set aside for health holidays for 7 children.

Monthly assistance totalling 620,000 hryvnias is being paid to 31 people. In addition, 10 owners of damaged private houses will receive 100,000 hryvnias each to mothball them.

In total, the executive committee decisions of 21 August and 14 September have allocated more than 8 million hryvnias to victims.

Meanwhile, the commission on damaged property continues its work. It has already considered 1,036 applications from residents of the community and made decisions on them.

“Support for victims is not a one-off campaign but ongoing, systematic work,” the city council stressed.

Humanitarian and psychological help

The council’s Social Services Centre has brought charities and foundations on board. As a result, affected families and children are receiving not only humanitarian but also psychological help.

In particular, the SOS Children’s Villages charity provided 36 families with food parcels, hygiene products, medicines and psychological support. The Ukrainian Red Cross Society handed hygiene kits to 100 families with children.

The NGO Impulse to Life gave 12 families nappies and knitted clothes for babies under one year old. Separately, 37 families received advice and practical help with obtaining the status of children affected by the war.

With the support of the Ukrainian Public Health Foundation, 20 people received psychological help, and another 16 people from 8 families were helped by the centre’s psychologist. Emergency crisis counselling was provided to 19 families.

With the help of the Child Well-Being Fund and the Kolo Syly support and development centre, support groups were held for parents, with 11 people taking part. Three children attended a camp.

How people applied

According to the council’s announcement of 15 July, applications for one-off financial aid under the Turbota programme began to be accepted on 17 July. Priority was given to owners and registered residents of homes that were completely destroyed or damaged by 41–80%.

Documents were accepted by the administrative services centre (TsNAP) at 50A Chornovola Street on weekdays from 8:30 to 17:00, and by the Social Protection Department at 34 Parkova Street. The department took them on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:30 to 17:00, and on Thursday from 10:30 to 19:00.

Owners submitted a passport, a taxpayer number, a document proving ownership of the home and a bank statement showing their IBAN. The application form was filled in on site.

Registered residents did not need an ownership document: they submitted a passport, a taxpayer number, an extract from the community residents’ register and a bank statement showing their IBAN, plus proof of kinship if applying on behalf of young children.

From 19 October to the end of November, TsNAP itself will work to a new schedule: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 8:30 to 17:00, and Tuesday from 11:30 to 20:00. The first working day of each month is closed to visitors.

As a reminder, on 27 September a hostile drone fell on a road in Vyshneve while cars were driving along it. A man was killed and three other people were injured.
