The Czech president, Petr Pavel, approved amendments to the law governing humanitarian aid for Ukrainian refugees. The amendment process, as reported by the agency CTK, sets out how relief payments will be adjusted after a refugee has been in the country for five months, with adjustments reflecting each person’s unique circumstances.
Under the revised scheme, the monthly support for unaccompanied minors is set at 3,490 kronor, roughly 160 dollars, while adults receive 4,860 kronor, about 240 dollars.
In related international news, British minister Grant Shapps, who leads the department focused on energy security and carbon neutrality, has publicly discussed a personal experiment he conducted involving housing for Ukrainian refugees. For nearly a year he entrusted the room of his eldest son to three Ukrainian refugees and their dogs.
The program known as Houses of Ukraine facilitates the placement of refugees into private homes within the country. Shapps described the initiative as a notable achievement and a moment of reflection that shaped his stance and political support for Ukraine. A spokesperson named Snezhana noted that there are shared values and experiences with Shapps, though British political topics are not routinely discussed between them.
