Minister of Defence Denys Shmyhal met with military personnel released from captivity.
"It was an open and constructive dialogue aimed at identifying priorities for the successful reintegration of our soldiers," said the head of the Ministry of Defence.
The participants discussed a wide range of issues faced by military personnel upon their return, from medical examinations to the creation of separate units to deal with these issues. According to Denys Shmyhal, all constructive proposals have been taken into consideration, and the Ministry of Defence is already working on systemic changes.
"The Parliament has already reviewed a bill that will significantly improve the reintegration system. In particular, it concerns the legislative consolidation of the right to a 90-day leave,' said the Minister of Defence.
In addition, the parties agreed to create an effective "road map" for supporting released soldiers.
"We must strengthen the protection and support of our soldiers who have returned from captivity. Their dignity and full recovery are our priority," concluded Denys Shmyhal.
