More than 71,000 military personnel in Ukraine have already received combatant status under the new simplified system. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, as conveyed by UNN.
Details
Now, status can be obtained through the Unified State Register of War Veterans. Information must be entered into it by authorized persons of military units within 5 days from the start of a combat mission.
The review of documents submitted to the register of war veterans is carried out automatically in real time. The new system also supplemented the existing procedure for obtaining combatant status through the commission for reviewing materials on recognizing a person as a combatant.
Documents for consideration by the commission are submitted by the command of the military unit, or by the serviceman personally.
