According to the regulation, the escort services will operate within the structure of the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces and the State Special Transport Service.
In the Armed Forces, the functions of these services will be performed by civil-military cooperation units. They will provide advice and assistance to the military and their families on legal, social, and medical issues.
Our defenders need to know that they and their families will not be left alone in a difficult moment. We are creating a support system that will help in any situation - to draw up an application, resolve issues with receiving payments, advise on the possibilities of rehabilitation after an injury, provide legal advice and psychological assistance,
In preparation for the launch of the support services, the first groups of specialists were trained. They have acquired the necessary skills to provide legal and psychological assistance, organize medical support for the wounded, provide social support to the military and their families, and interact with the families of the dead, missing and captured.
In total, the support services will cover about two dozen areas of support, which will help strengthen the social protection of servicemen and their families.
