"Now a parent who is temporarily abroad can send an application for assistance to the social security authority in Ukraine at his or her registered place of residence. Together with it, the father or mother must send documents issued by the competent authorities of the country of residence and legalised in accordance with the established procedure, certifying the birth of the child," the statement says.
