The DPR is preparing to grant militias official status as participants in hostilities
The head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, signed a decree, according to which special commissions will consider citizens’ appeals and make decisions on the issue of issuing documents of a participant in hostilities and a family member of someone who died while defending the republic.
The head of state announced this in his Telegram channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Despite the fact that there are no exact data on the number of participants in the 2014 People’s Militia, a program for financing the costs associated with the gradual provision of social benefits and guarantees to combatants and members of their families is already being developed. We plan to start implementing the program next year.
The state has taken another step towards the actual legalization of the status of combatants, including members of the People's Militia, to whom the Republic owes its existence.
And now we have a very large and complex job ahead of us - its result should be the implementation of social guarantees and social support measures provided by law for combatants and members of their families. We also have to establish the names of all the unknown heroes of this war, pay tribute to the memory of the dead, and support their families.
In the near future, I plan to hear reports from the heads of government agencies on their readiness to implement the Decree, and I intend to personally monitor the progress of its implementation,” added the head of the republic.
Let us remind you that in the chaos of hostilities in Donbass in 2014, members of the People’s Militia were not registered anywhere, and many of them still do not have official status. This decree is intended to correct the situation.
