Poroshenko: veterans must be in government, receive full opportunities for realization
Veteran policy in Ukraine must be fair, and participants in the war against Russian aggression should receive full opportunities for self-realization, stated Member of Parliament of Ukraine and leader of the "European Solidarity" party Petro Poroshenko.
Ukrainian politician Petro Poroshenko has called for veterans of the war against Russian aggression to receive full opportunities for self-realization and be included in government roles. Speaking at the Chronicles of War forum, Poroshenko emphasized that veterans are a valuable resource and must be treated with the same professionalism as any other person seeking treatment.
Poroshenko stressed that veterans are not only in need of prosthetics and PTSD treatment, but also require help in adapting to peaceful life, as they have returned as different individuals in a different country. He warned against bureaucratic formalism in the treatment of veterans and highlighted their crucial role in resolving strategic state-building issues, including fighting corruption in power.
The politician believes that veterans should be present in government, as they have the right to express their opinions on matters affecting Ukraine. According to Poroshenko, veterans should primarily work in the defense and security sector, where they can receive the highest salaries. He also noted that more than half of the employees in his projects for producing equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and protecting critical infrastructure are veterans.
