Ukraine War: Utility Fees Suspended in Active Combat Zones

Amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, questions have arisen regarding the collection of utility fees in affected regions. According to a recent Cabinet of Ministers resolution, these fees are not to be collected in areas experiencing active combat or under temporary occupation. One legal counsel, Oleksandr, explains, "There's a resolution that explicitly states this. If you receive a demand for payment in such a zone, it's illegal." This clarification is crucial for residents in these regions who may be facing financial pressure. The resolution aims to alleviate the burden on those already affected by the war. Oleksandr further advises those who have received such demands to challenge them legally. The government's move highlights a commitment to supporting citizens during this difficult time.
