The government approved a new rehabilitation system for those released from captivity: what will change.

The Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Denys Shmyhal, announced that the government has adopted a resolution on new approaches to the medical, psychological, and social recovery of those released from Russian captivity, both military and civilians. This initiative was proposed by the Ministry of Defense.

Denys Shmyhal announced this on Telegram.

What the Cabinet's resolution includes

According to the document, the requirements for medical examinations of the released individuals will be updated for a clearer assessment of their health condition and further treatment.

The resolution also provides for the implementation of a range of measures aimed at reintegrating individuals into a full life after captivity.

Assistance without unnecessary hassle

Those released from captivity will have the opportunity to obtain lost documents without the need to leave the hospital, thanks to enhanced social assistance available to them.

Captives' injuries will be accounted for

Internal orders will also be changed so that injuries sustained during captivity are treated on par with combat injuries. This will help simplify the procedures for documenting fatalities and those who are still in captivity.
