The adopted resolution provides for the implementation of uniform standards for veteran rehabilitation
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has adopted a resolution calling for the creation of systematic support for Ukrainian military personnel with disabilities. The organization proposes that European countries implement a coordinated policy for the integration of and assistance to veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war. This was reported by Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, according to the portal PromPolitInform.
Coordinated veteran policy in Europe
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has adopted a document calling on European states to implement systematic measures to support Ukrainian military personnel who sustained disabilities during combat operations. The initiative is aimed at forming a unified European approach to the rehabilitation and accompaniment of veterans.
The adopted resolution proposes that member states of the Council of Europe coordinate their efforts to ensure long-term medical, social, and psychological support for Ukrainian defenders. Particular attention is paid to creating conditions for the seamless integration of veterans into public and economic life after their return from the front.
Long-term social integration
The document emphasizes the importance of developing specialized programs in European countries that will allow military personnel with serious injuries to undergo recovery according to modern standards. This involves not only medical care but also professional retraining and workplace adaptation to the needs of persons with disabilities.
The organization calls on the governments of European countries to facilitate the removal of barriers for former military personnel and to create an inclusive environment. The implementation of these recommendations should ensure a sustainable link between Ukrainian institutions and European partners for the exchange of experience in the field of veteran policy.
