KYIV, Nov 21 - The total amount of subsidies intended to compensate household expenses in Ukraine in January-October 2017 amounted to UAH 3.49 billion, which is 8.6% (or UAH 279 million) more than the January-October 2016.

The State Statistics Service said these figures are given without taking into account the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea and Sevastopol and part of the anti-terrorist operation zone in the east of the country. Data on Donetsk and Luhansk regions could be adjusted.
