Ukraine has over 1.3 million veterans: what role do they play in the state.

Minister of Defense on veterans

According to inkorr.com: Ukraine's Minister of Defense, Denys Shmyhal, stated that there are over 1.3 million people with veteran status in Ukraine. He made this announcement at the international veteran forum 'Ukraine. Veterans. Security'.

'Over 1.3 million Ukrainians have the status of war veterans. The Ministry of Defense engages them at all levels of our responsibility,' emphasized the minister.

Veterans contribute significantly to the country's defense capability. For example, the DELTA system, one of the most innovative Ukrainian developments, was created thanks to their involvement. Veterans also assist in demining the territory of Ukraine and aim to participate in the rebuilding and economic growth of the state.

The role of veterans in society

Denys Shmyhal emphasized that veterans are important as a key element of military reserve and military-patriotic education. They will also be involved in the work of National Resistance Centers and state service.

The Ministry of Defense, together with the Ministry of Veterans, is working on improving the social support for servicemen. The main goal is to simplify the process of providing services and relieve servicemen from additional burdens. Respect and honor for veterans, remembrance of the fallen, and the well-being of defenders' families are crucial, as well as the involvement of veterans in ensuring national security and defense capability of the country.
