In particular, payments for October will amount to 550.29 million UAH, for November – 524.02 million UAH. This is one of the largest amounts of payments during the period of the program, which has been promoting the demand of citizens for consumer goods of domestic production for more than a year. In general, since the launch of the program in 2024, the volume of payments has reached 6 billion hryvnias. With the payment of cashback for October and November, the payment plan for the program for this year will be fulfilled in full. Payment for December 2025 will take place on schedule in February 2026. This is due to the peculiarities of the budget process. It is possible to control the accrual of cashback in Diya.

As the Informant reported, from November 22 the list of goods and services on which it is allowed to spend funds received under the “National Cashback” program was changed. These changes are due to the need to coordinate its work with the state program “Winter Support”. The “National Cashback” program became operational on September 2, 2025. It provides that buyers of goods produced in Ukraine will be able to receive a 10% cashback from the state of the money spent. The received cashback could be used to pay for housing and communal services, transport and mobile communication services, medical care, services of sports clubs, cinemas, theaters, restaurants, bookstores, purchase of insurance policies, military bonds or donations to the Armed Forces. The maximum amount of cashback that can be received per month is 3 thousand hryvnias. The introduction of this program was announced by President Volodymyr Zelensky back in February 2024.
