According to lawyer Yevhenia Bulimenko, 'veteran' and 'combat participant' are different statuses that have great significance for receiving support from the state. According to Ukrainian legislation, 'veteran' is a broader concept that includes various categories of people related to the country's defense or combat activities. In particular, this category includes military personnel, rear workers, rehabilitated persons, and others.
The law of Ukraine establishes a different scope of benefits for combat participants and veterans. For example, combat participants have more rights to free medication, discounts on utility services, and other benefits than veterans. These differences are important for the social protection of these categories of citizens.
Explaining the difference between 'veteran' and 'combat participant' is important for understanding the social benefits that these categories of citizens can receive from the state. It allows for better assessment of the mechanisms of support and protection of the rights of those who participated in the war or combat activities.Read also
