Zelenskyy urges govt, parliament to explore possibility of creating veterans' code
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on the government, the Verkhovna Rada, and veterans to address the issue of codifying legislation in the field of veterans’ policy and the possibility of creating a veterans’ code.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged the government, the parliament, and veterans to consider the creation of a veterans code and the drafting of relevant legislation. Speaking at the Ninth International Veterans Forum in Kyiv, Zelenskyy emphasized that veterans and their families should receive separate legislation and special attention.
He argued that the families of veterans, including those of fallen soldiers, prisoners of war, and those missing in action, should be integral participants in veterans' policy. Zelenskyy noted that this approach has not yet been fully integrated into government policy or community activities. With over 1.5 million veterans and their families, Zelenskyy believes this constitutes a significant segment of Ukrainian society.
He called for a discussion among stakeholders to explore the possibility of a veterans' code, emphasizing the need for feedback on this potential legislation.
