The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has opened an account for the Ministry of Social Policy for humanitarian assistance to Ukrainians affected by Russian aggression, the press service of the regulator said on Tuesday.

According to a message on the NBU website, the account will be used for crediting charitable assistance both from Ukraine and from abroad.

"In order to streamline the receipt of funds from donors for humanitarian assistance to Ukrainians affected by the war, the National Bank opened an account for the Ministry of Social Policy, which accumulated charitable contributions for social needs in wartime," the press service said, citing the NBU head Kyrylo Shevchenko.

Shevchenko explained that unlike the special account opened to finance the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the funds from this account will be spent to help citizens who suffer the most from the war with Russia.

Details for transfers to the account are available at the link:
