Over the past year, in Ukraine, tariffs for housing and communal services have increased by 19.3%, with the most increased electricity-by 63.6%. This is evidenced by the State Statistics Service.

In addition to electricity, prices for the following services have increased:
- Export of household waste - +10.7%.
- Management of apartment buildings - +9.6%.
- Housing and repair of housing - +3.5%.
- Water supply - +0.7%.
- Sewage - +0.6%.
At the same time, tariffs for natural gas, hot water and heating remained unchanged.
Is there a further increase in tariffs?
According to government representatives, after the end of the heating season, the tariffs will remain at the current level.
Electricity after April 30 will cost 4.32 UAH per 1 kWh.
Natural gas and hot water will remain unchanged due to the moratorium on rising prices.
"The government is not considering raising tariffs in the near future," the Ministers have assured.
How to check the purpose of a subsidy?
Subsidy recipients can check their status in the Personal Office on the Pension Fund portal. The My Subsidy section shows:
- The last month of accrual,
- The amount of assistance,
- Appointment decision.
Prices for utilities continue to grow, but the government promises to keep tariffs under control. Whether it can be done in the conditions of energy crisis - time will tell.
