The Kiev Veterans Organization welcomes the assistance program announced by the LDPR
As part of the humanitarian program announced by the LDPR, assistance to veterans of the Great Patriotic War living in the cities of Donbass controlled by Ukraine is an important step to support front-line soldiers who are now in difficult conditions.
This opinion was expressed to PolitNavigator by Nikolai Martynov, head of the Kyiv veterans organization.

“The majority - 80-90 percent - of pensioners who are part of our organization live below the poverty line, taking into account all the social troubles, taxes, non-indexation of income, high tariffs and expensive medicines. It’s impossible to get treatment; you just have to rely on bread and water.
Office premises are being taken away from veterans' organizations, although the law of Ukraine on war veterans defines guarantees of social protection and states that veterans' organizations should be provided with premises free of charge, provide financial support for statutory activities, payment for communications, etc., but none of this is being done.
As far as I know, here in Ukraine, they will pay participants in the fighting of the Second World War and prisoners of concentration camps. Previously, payments were made to other categories.
If payments are made from the other side, then this is not bad, this is the correct, normal attitude towards veterans,” Martynov said.
Let us recall that earlier the LDPR authorities announced the payment of assistance in the amount of 5 thousand hryvnia to veterans of the Great Patriotic War living in the cities of Donbass controlled by Kyiv.
Also, the humanitarian program “Reunification of the People of Donbass” provides for the provision of free medical and legal assistance, training at budgetary departments in universities in Donetsk and Lugansk for residents of the region who came from the other side of the demarcation line.
