On September 24, a regular meeting of the Advisory Council for War Veterans and Families of Fallen (Deceased) Defenders of Ukraine at the Donetsk Regional State Administration was held.
The event was chaired by the Deputy Head of Donetsk Regional State Administration Oleksandr Shevchenko. Representatives of the structural units of the Donetsk Regional State Administration and public organizations also participated.
During the meeting, the participants discussed the issues of support for war veterans and soldiers released from captivity, as well as support for the families of fallen, deceased or missing defenders of Ukraine.
Special attention was paid to new state programs to support war veterans and their families. In particular, the payment of monetary compensation for rent, the eOselya program for affordable housing loans, compensation for the education of children of veterans in vocational pre-university and higher education institutions, and the Veteran's Sport program.
The meeting resulted in proposals and further steps to improve the level of social protection for war veterans and their families. It is important that every veteran and family member of a fallen defender feels constant support and care from the state.
