About us
Everything Ukrainians in the Netherlands need — in one place.
UA Dopomoga is a digital ecosystem where Ukrainians adapt faster, navigate documents, taxes, work, ZZP, benefits, and find verified specialists. Not just an info site — a full platform with tools, an AI assistant, and a services directory.
Our mission
Make life for Ukrainians in the Netherlands simpler, clearer, and safer.
You shouldn't have to get lost across dozens of sites, complex rules, and official letters. You open UA Dopomoga and immediately get a clear path: what to do, where to go, which documents to prepare, and which deadlines not to miss.
We built Dopomoga because we walked this path ourselves in 2022–23 and know what the first months look like without centralized, verified information in Ukrainian. We turn those lessons into tools that thousands of people now use.
What's in Dopomoga
Six platform areas — each covers a different part of life in the Netherlands.
Documents
Ready-made templates, instructions, and help: letters to gemeente, Belastingdienst, applications, contracts, replies to official letters, documents for benefits and ZZP.

Marketplace «Послуги» — how it works
A two-sided catalog: people find a verified Ukrainian-speaking specialist, while the self-employed reach clients within their own community. Profiles show name, city, languages, prices, rating, and reviews. Search by category, city, language, price.
For the client
Quickly find a verified specialist who speaks your language and understands the needs of Ukrainians in the Netherlands.
For the specialist
Reach clients inside the Ukrainian community in NL — no spend needed on Google or Instagram ads.
Our values
Four rules we never break.
01
Simplicity

02
Reliability

03
Accessibility
All vital information is free forever, in Ukrainian, with no paywall in the middle of an article.
04
Community-powered
A platform where Ukrainians don't just receive help — they can also offer their services and grow their own businesses.

What we do and don't do
General legal information
We provide general information about the rights and obligations of Ukrainians in the Netherlands: registration, insurance, education, housing. This is not individual legal advice — your specific case needs a qualified specialist.
Tax information
We explain the Dutch tax system and available benefits (toeslagen, aftrek). This is reference material — individual calculations and tax-return filing require a belastingadviseur.
Specialist support
For complex cases, we point you to the right specialist (lawyer, tax advisor, translator). We do not replace them — we help you find them.
Legal representation
We do NOT represent you in courts, government agencies, or negotiations. For that, you need a licensed advocaat or authorised representative.
