Quote: "Currently, we have 1.2 million veterans registered in the state register. But we understand how many women and men are currently at the front not yet having [this] status," he said at the Veterans Affairs Ministry’s summit dubbed A veteran's path from military service to civilian life. 

According to Kushnir, after the war is over, there would be 5-6 million veterans and people who fall under the ministry’s policy (particularly members of their families).

It is reported that 70% of veterans held official employment prior to mobilisation, and more than half will require employment once they return to civilian life.
