Minister for Veterans Affairs Yulia Laputina told who will be able to receive the status of a participant in hostilities after the end of the war against Russia. In particular, she stressed that among the volunteers it will be provided only to those who took a direct part in the hostilities..

Laputina noted that according to the updated legislation, every defender who took a direct part in hostilities as part of the territorial defense and volunteer formations of territorial communities has the right to receive the status of a participant in hostilities and appropriate social guarantees from the state.

“When the law was passed giving volunteers the right to receive UBD status with appropriate social guarantees, no one knew where the theater of military operations would unfold. This right was granted throughout Ukraine. However, according to the procedure for granting status, only those who took a direct part in hostilities will receive it,” the minister concluded..

Laputina also said that a special commission will operate under the Ministry of Veterans Affairs with the participation of representatives of the security and defense sector departments, which will consider the above issues..
