The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has adopted in the first reading Bill 13532, which provides for expanded support for families with children. This was reported by MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak on Telegram, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.

The main provisions of the bill:
- Assistance to pregnant women without insurance experience
Women who are not officially employed will be able to receive monthly financial support in the amount of ₴7,000 during pregnancy. - One-time payment after the birth of a child
After giving birth, women are offered ₴50,000 as a one-time support for the birth of a child. - Financial assistance for childcare for children under 1 year of age
