The Cabinet of Ministers decided to extend benefits and guarantees not only to volunteers, those who were injured or disabled as a result of the war, but also to family members of the fallen defenders. The right of Teroborona representatives to receive the status of a participant in hostilities (UBD) is also recognized.. And yet - such a category of persons as the families of the deceased (deceased) Defenders and Defenders of Ukraine has been introduced. The press service of the Ministry of Veterans informs about the innovations.

“Volunteers of the Territorial Defense Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, members of volunteer formations of territorial communities will have the opportunity to receive cash payments provided for in case of injury and disability as a result of the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, and in case of death, members of their families will receive a one-time financial assistance,” –.

Also recently, UBI credential holders and their full-time students can receive the following assistance:.

full or partial payment for education at the expense of state and local budgets;

preferential long-term loans for education;

social scholarships;

free provision of textbooks;

free access to the Internet, database systems in state and municipal educational institutions;

free accommodation in a hostel.

And representatives of the terrorist defense in Ukraine will receive the status of a war veteran and will be able to apply for special pensions. We are talking about 25% of the minimum pension for combatants; from 30 to 60% of the minimum pension - for those who received a disability.

Recall that earlier Minister for Veterans Affairs Yulia Laputina spoke about who will be able to receive the status of a participant in hostilities after the end of the war against Russia.
