The Internet is spreading information that the Ukrainian State Film Agency has allegedly announced a presidential grant competition for 2025. Its goal is to create projects where the authors must demonstrate a “positive image of the Territorial center of recruitment and social support”.

The Ukrainian State Film Agency website does indeed contain news about the announcement of a presidential grant competition in 2025. To participate, one must submit the relevant documents: an application, an estimate, a description of the film. Similar conditions were previously in 2023 and 2024. They do not mention positive coverage of the Territorial center of recruitment and social support actions. The purpose of the competition is to provide state financial support to young artists for the creation and implementation of socially significant creative projects. Clear restrictions on the topics of the projects are not specified.

The counterfeit indicated a sum of over UAH 1 billion for the creation of products, but the official website indicated only UAH 3.9 million. This is the amount of funds allocated for the payment of three grants.
