The "Pislya Sluzhby" (After Service) assisted in establishing Veteran Support Programs in the 32nd Separate Mechanized Brigade and the 5th Kyiv Separate Assault Brigade.
An important part of our activities in 2024 was organizing trainings for servicemen and veterans, who later created veteran social support groups within their units and ensured their effective operation.
From June 10 to 13th with the support of the International Renaissance Foundation we once again gathered lecturers to conduct the training "Organization of Veteran Support Programs to Ukrainian Military Brigades".
It is becoming increasingly important each day to establish communication with veterans, the wounded, family members of the fallen and missing, as well as to ensure their rehabilitation. Our participants improve their knowledge in topics of military law, medical and psychological support for servicemen, veterans, and their family members.
Our coaches this time were: Natalia Umerenkova, Oleksandr Vitsan, Yaroslav Pavlovsky, Oleg Hushchin, Anna Mokrousova, Yaroslav Khomenko, Valentyna Kalynovska, Anastasia Prystupa, Tetiana Hrubeniuk, Andriy Ovcharenko, and Olena Belyachkova.
Their knowledge and experience were shared to the servicemen and veterans.
We thank the International Renaissance Foundation for their support that makes this training possible.
Together – to victory!
