On the eve of the Independence Day of Ukraine, the City Veterans Center started its work in Brovary. What services will be provided here and who can use them - UNN journalists found out during the opening of the institution.
Currently, there are about two thousand combatants in the Brovary community, including almost 300 people with disabilities. They, as well as family members of the fallen and prisoners of war, and active military personnel, will be able to use the center's services. In particular, they can get advice on paperwork, employment or starting their own business, medical care and rehabilitation, etc.
According to the mayor of Brovary, Ihor Sapozhko, the veterans' center will provide 25 different services.
"Today we talked about benefits and subsidies. We are talking about disability registration, we are talking about the work of certain rehabilitation things. These issues will be discussed and resolved here," said Igor Sapozhko.
In turn, the head of the Kyiv Military Administration, Ruslan Kravchenko, noted that it was thanks to the persistence of the city authorities that the veterans' center in Brovary was created quickly enough.
"If there is a will, there will be no difficulties. The mayor of Brovary has a desire, and he did it. He said: I will do it and I will make it.
I want every city in Kyiv region to have such a veterans' hub, and if necessary, several hubs. The main task is to make it comfortable for the staff, to make it comfortable for veterans to come with any question," said Ruslan Kravchenko.
Veterans themselves call the opening of the center a correct and important step, because now they will not have to go to many authorities, and will be able to get all the necessary consultations in one visit.
"The ideas that they want to implement now will greatly help veterans. As for me, legal aid is in the first place. Because, as you know, we have a very long time with the documentary part. In particular, the military commission is a long and difficult issue," Volodymyr Shulyak, a veteran of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, shared his impressions of the opening of the center with UNN .
