"As they want, work is": Vereshchuk reacted to statements about "thousands of IDPs" who go on occupation

Politicians who say that Ukrainians seem to be returning to occupation due to lack of assistance from the state, support Russian narratives, said Viceremierk Irina Vereshchuk. According to her, she does not believe that Ukrainians are capable of such. The Ukrainians who, during the war, forced to leave homes and became internally distorted persons (IDPs), receive assistance from a state that is small, but they are.

In addition, anyone can find a job, however, not the level that has been lost due to the full -scale war of the Russian Federation. Irina Vereshchuk wrote about the situation with IDPs, which seem to be returning to the occupation in the occupation. Vereshchuk published a post in response to the statements of "some of our politicians" who talk about the departure of Ukrainians back to the occupied territories.

According to her, so do "irresponsible fans of Hipp" and in general they "lie" because they have not shown any official statistics. Viceremierka denied that the state does not allocate IDP assistance, does not give housing or work. The official assured that everyone who needs it receives 2-3 thousand UAH, they are given temporary housing. She acknowledged that in war, people will not be able to get as much money as it was before the war, but those who want to find a job.

"I will never believe that thousands of Ukrainians go to Russian occupation due to the lack of 2-3 thousand hryvnias per month of state aid. Yes, the state cannot give all displaced persons in the apartment. But temporary housing is," Vereshchuk said. After that, the Viceremier accused the speakers of supporting the "hostile narratives" that undermine the state, are criminal and harm the state. The names of the speakers of the official did not call.

It should be noted that the reaction of Vereshchuk appeared after an interview with the People's Deputy of the Servants of the People Maxim Tkachenko Agency "Ukrinform". Among other things, he stated that 150 thousand IDPs returned to the occupation (from the total number of 5 million people is 3%). The reason for this behavior is the lack of assistance from the state: they do not have housing, social payments of compensation, work, he said.

Meanwhile, the budget for 2025 laid expenditures for this category of citizens in the amount of UAH 48. 6 billion, the politician said (in 2022 it was UAH 73 billion, in 2023-UAH 57 billion). It can be considered that the total of all types of payments for each of the 5 million displaced persons is 9 600 UAH. Earlier, Focus wrote that IDP assistance for accommodation is 2 thousand UAH for adults and UAH 3 thousand for minors and people with disabilities.
