Welfare, respect and national security: Cabinet of Ministers approves war veteran policy strategy until 2030
The government has approved a war veterans' policy strategy until 2030 and an operational plan for its implementation.
According to Censor.NET, this was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.
As noted, the strategy covers all areas from the initial steps in a soldier's return to civilian life to the opportunities for war veterans to change the life of the community, region and state.
The strategy has three goals:
- the well-being of war veterans and their families, as well as the restoration of human capital (treatment, rehabilitation and social guarantees);
- maintaining respect for veterans and honoring the contribution of the fallen;
- ensuring national security and defense capability of the country by reflecting the experience of war veterans in the National Security Strategy, participation of veterans in the formation of national identity and preparation for national resistance
It is noted that the Government has also approved changes to the program of dental prosthetics for defenders. Each veteran will be able to have their teeth treated for free up to UAH 25,000. About 11,000 Ukrainians have already used this opportunity, and now it will be extended.
Support for veterans
As a reminder, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy instructed the Cabinet of Ministers to approve the National Strategy for War Veterans' Policy and the Strategy for the Formation of a System for Transition from Military Service to Civilian Life.
The Ministry of Defense is working on the Veteran+ application together with other ministries.
The Government also adopted a resolution that defines the mechanism for ensuring the activities of specialists in supporting war veterans and demobilized persons in the system of transition from military service to civilian life.
The clause on veterans' policy is one of the steps in the Resilience Plan presented by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
