Ukraine has developed a special program to provide long-term loans for housing to the families of military personnel, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said.

"A program has been developed, according to which families of military personnel will be able to get long-term loans [for housing]," Poroshenko told journalists in Kyiv on Monday after a meeting with volunteers.

Poroshenko pointed out that such loans will help to increase the motivation of soldiers and solve the housing shortage in the military.
