What about the restoration of homes in the Mykolaiv region?

Since 2023, Ukraine has had a compensation programme for damaged homes called «eVidnovlennia». Commissions for the restoration of damaged homes are currently operating in the region.

In January 2024, the first resident of Mykolaiv purchased a flat using a housing certificate.

At present, village heads in the Mykolaiv region say that some residents whose homes were completely destroyed have received housing certificates and have decided not to return to their communities.
