Abstract

In connection with the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, the UN began to pay out through various international organizations (the International Committee of the Red Cross in Ukraine, UNICEF, the UN Refugee Agency, the Norwegian Refugee Council and others) assistance to vulnerable categories of citizens of Ukraine in the amount of approximately UAH 2,200 per month for 1 person. According to the official response of the UN Resident Coordinator in Ukraine, the international organization pays UAH 2,220 to forced migrants and socially vulnerable persons, as “According to the monthly subsistence minimum established by the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine, compared to the total income of vulnerable households in Ukraine, the recommended amount of humanitarian of multi-purpose cash assistance from March to May 2022 is UAH 2,220 per month for one person in a family (including children) for three months. In the future, the amount may change, depending on the assessment of market and other factors, including inflation”. Our research showed that the minimum needs of a person in prices as of January 1, 2022 are not UAH 2,200 for 1 person, but are equal to UAH 10,686. According to scientist M. D. Savenko, a retired judge of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, the living wage is understated in Ukraine, as when establishing it, the state proceeded from the principle of special legal cynicism, which migrated to the authorities of independent Ukraine as a legacy from the totalitarian Soviet past. Under income from UAH 10,686 down to UAH 5,343 somatic health is disturbed, the duration of illnesses from poverty is from 0 to 6 days. In Ukraine, approximately 43.3% of the population or 18.1 million people suffer in such a way. When the income is lower than UAH 5,343 per month — there is a violation of psychological health, the dependence of depression according to Beck's scale on income appears (20.7 million people, or 49.5% of the population suffer in such a way). 46% of the population, or 19 million people, have health problems due to poverty from 6 to 21 days (income from UAH 5,343 to UAH 3,143). 1.4% of the population, or 587,000 people, live on an income of UAH 3,143 or down to 1781 Hryvnias (illnesses from poverty are from 21 to 70 days). 710,000 people (1.7%) live on an income below UAH 1,781. From the point of view of law — 2672 Hryvnias per person defines the state of torture (Article 127 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), that is, if a person's only income is assistance from the UN, then this social assistance does not provide minimum standards of living, but is, by its very nature, a torture.
