In addition, under the new rules, military personnel will be able to apply for combatant status. A special commission will collect documents for the status independently.
In addition, in 2023, Ukraine will establish separate payments to a number of military pensioners. This applies to the following categories:
- persons who have been awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine with the Order of the Golden Star;
- persons who after 2014 were awarded the Order of Bohdan Khmelnytsky of three degrees, the Order "For Courage" of three degrees, or the Order of Princess Olga of three degrees.
Earlier, the Government decided to pay pensions to Ukrainians even if they have no length of service. This will affect some categories of pensioners.
