Pension for the military

One citizen asked lawyers whether it is possible to receive a military pension if they worked for a civilian enterprise after military service.

'You have the right to apply for a pension, despite the fact that the last place of work was not a military unit, but a private enterprise, if on the day of dismissal from military service in 2022 your age was 45 years',
