Today, there are 1.2 million registered veterans in Ukraine, and after the war is over, their number will increase to 5-6 million. This was stated by Deputy Minister for Veterans Affairs Maksym Kushnir at the summit "Veteran's Path from Military Service to Civilian Life," UNN reports .

Currently, we have 1.2 million veterans registered in the state register. However, we realize that there are many guys and girls on the frontline who do not yet have a status. After the victory, we see that the number of veterans, that is, the category that applies to us, will be 5-6 million people,
