The fourth, according to the President, is economic and social support programs for veterans.
“One of the key issues is one’s own home. This year, despite all the difficulties, almost 4,500 families of veterans were provided with assistance to purchase housing. And our program of special tribute to the Heroes of Ukraine operates separately. 274 families of Heroes are provided with apartments.” – said the President.

And in the special appendices to this item of the Sustainability Plan, there should be a significant number and quality of programs to support veteran policy,” Zelenskyi said.
