Ukraine will create a Veteran Code: what will change for millions of Ukrainians

Ukraine is actively developing veteran policy during the war, rather than waiting for the conflict to end, which is quite a rare phenomenon on the international stage. According to the speech of the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Yulia Svyrydenko, it is important to consider the experiences of the veterans themselves and their families when making decisions.

A meeting with representatives of veteran public organizations emphasized the need to integrate veteran policy into all spheres of the country's life to support about 5-6 million veterans and their families who will be present after the war. The Prime Minister promised that every veteran and their family will receive support in medicine, education, employment, social services, and daily life.

“Our goal is for every veteran, every veteran woman, and their families to feel effective state support: in medicine, education, employment, social services, and daily life,” emphasized the Prime Minister.

Updated concepts of state policy for veterans

During the meeting with representatives of veteran public organizations, updated concepts of state policy regarding veterans and their families were presented. According to Yulia Svyrydenko, many proposals have been considered in the draft Veteran Code, which will soon be submitted for parliamentary review. Positive interaction with public organizations was also noted.

Ukraine is conducting planned work on creating veteran policy in wartime, relying on the experiences of the veterans themselves and in collaboration with public organizations to provide comprehensive support to veterans and their families across all areas of life.
