The Ministry of Labor and Social Policy of Ukraine has developed a draft law that should restore justice for those war veterans who have been unfairly discredited over many past years.
This was stated to journalists by Minister of Labor and Social Policy Viacheslav Kyrylenko.
– The draft law will be submitted for consideration by the government, and after all approvals – to parliament, – the minister reported.
Characterizing the draft document, Mr. Kyrylenko noted that the objectives of the law are "to restore historical justice and equalize the rights of all Ukrainians who fought on the fronts of the Second World War, and most importantly – to grant all veterans the appropriate status and social guarantees."
– The proposed draft law will establish the status of combatants, war invalids, and war participants for veterans of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, which will enable these elderly people to enjoy all the social benefits due to them, – he reported.
