New changes for veteran entrepreneurship
The Government of Ukraine has adopted new changes by its decision, which are designed to expand the implementation of employment opportunities for veterans and war veterans, as well as separately strengthen support for veteran entrepreneurship in Ukraine.
This was announced by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko: “We are improving the mechanism for obtaining the special status of ‘veteran business’,” the head noted.
What this will be in detail has not yet been revealed, we expect news later, but it is already known that it will be possible to submit an application online through the “Diya” portal . And all decisions, including those on the acquisition, termination or renewal of the “veteran business ” status, will be recorded automatically in the Unified State Register of War Veterans .
