As of today, 5 million applications for the payment of UAH 1,000 as part of the «Winter is Support» program have been processed through «Diia».
Deputy Prime Minister — Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov announced this on his Telegram channel, adding that 1.2 million applications were made for children.
We will remind that yesterday the payments of thousand hrivnias became the basis for a media dispute between the co-founder of monobank Oleg Horokhovsky and the state-owned «PrivatBank».
At first, Horokhovsky criticized «PrivatBank» for the alleged disclosure of payment transaction data during the registration of the «thousands of wool». Then he said that «Privatbank» threatened him with a lawsuit.
In turn, at dev.ua’s request, PrivatBank stated that «this is basically a standard contract for opening a card and that all banks do it, but not all of them explain it to clients.» Horokhovskyi’s message was regarded there as a competitive struggle.
dev.ua also wrote that Ukrainians are worried that in order to receive 1,000 hryvnias of «Winter e-Support» it is necessary to provide access to banking secrets.
In particular, cyber security expert Kostyantyn Korsun believes that programs like «Winter eSupport» and «National Cashback» put banking secrecy at risk .
