According to the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, in response to the NV request, the state provides veterans with a comprehensive set of services aimed at their reintegration into civilian life, professional growth and restoration of health. These are tools for socio-economic adaptation, in particular, support for veteran entrepreneurship, the functioning of the online platform Veteran Career, a three-level system of psychological assistance, legal advice, reproductive health support using assisted reproductive technologies (art) and long-term rehabilitation.

"While attending meetings organized by the state to communicate with veterans and veterans, I have been hearing the same set of problems and troubles for years. We have a general gap in the form of a lack of normal veteran legislation and are waiting for some kind of conscious option. But in the format in which the state sees social care, it is simply impossible to implement it, "says Kateryna Pryymak, head of the VETERANKA Movement, in aninterview with NV.

Details

She admits that the package of benefits from the state for veterans is huge, but most of these benefits, in her opinion, are not of high quality and really affordable.

The first thing that should be provided to veterans free of charge and flawlessly is medical care, says the leader of the VETERANKA movement. If a person has lost his health while defending the state, this is a basic duty of society. She calls the restoration of mental health today the most common request.

Context

"On the one hand, the cancellation of the same veteran sports program caused outrage, because relatively small funds were allocated for it. On the other hand, a huge number of veterans were never able to use it, although sports rehabilitation after injuries is vital. "

What's next

79,482 female veterans in Ukraine have active combatant statuses (CFR) according to the Unified State Register of War Veterans (USRVV). This figure as of October 1, 2026 is given in the Ministry of Veterans of Ukraine in response to the request of NV.
