Return ‘Thousand Zelensky’: Who will lose help and why
If you have money from a thousand Zelensky, do not delay – after December 31, 2025, unused funds will be withdrawn.
The program, which started in 2022, has already provided more than ten million Ukrainians with cards worth UAH 1,000. However, many people are still holding this money on a rainy day, the Action Agreement reports.
The Action Service emphasizes that if you do not use the money, it will automatically return to the state budget. To avoid losses, it is recommended that you spend a bonus on utility bonuses, medical services, training, sports, transport, mobile communications, insurance, or charity, in particular, to support the Armed Forces, or on the purchase of military bonds. Funds are also accepted in cinemas, museums, concerts, and beauty salons – the main thing is that the transaction is through the terminal.
“We have provided three years to use funds, but we cannot wait anymore – the state budget needs resources,” said the specialist of the Ministry of Digital Transformation, Natalia Gorzheva.
She also stated that internal transfers between Ukrainian cards are not blocked, allowing you to easily transfer the remaining balance to relatives or friends who plan to make a purchase. The system controls the movement of funds, and after the deadline, the card balance will be stopped without your participation. The penalties will not be imposed, but the refunded funds will no longer be credited.
We will remind you of what was earlier discussed about how to spend “a thousand Zelensky” on building materials, books, or air freshener. These funds can also affect subsidies; you can find out more about this on Know.ua.
Do not forget to pay attention to Cashback and Support to avoid problems with the tax authorities.
