Details
We continue to build a digital state. This applies to absolutely all areas. Education, economics, medicine, and the social sector. Today, in order to receive various types of social support from the state, a person must submit a whole package of different documents. However, we have already digitized most of them and they are already in our databases. Therefore, we have decided that social security authorities will not require any paper documents from people if they are already in the database
He added that this should simplify people's lives, as well as make state aid more transparent and effective.
Today we are also making another decision to develop a new veterans' policy. Ukraine already has a register of war veterans, where we collect data on the support our defenders receive. And, accordingly, what else we can do for them. Today we are making changes that will improve the work of the Register. We are also launching a service for veterans that gives them the opportunity to see what data about them is already in the Register
