"The families of our heroes cannot be divided by the date of their losses. Everyone who sacrificed their life for Ukraine since 2014 did so in the fight for our independence, and their families deserve equal support. The current situation, where payments to the families of those who died before February 24, 2022, range from 1.3 to 2 million UAH, while families of those who died after that date receive 15 million UAH, is unjust. The Kyiv City Council is appealing to parliament to eliminate this discrimination and establish equal social guarantees for all families of our defenders," emphasized Dubil.
He noted that the Kyiv City Council supports the bills №9166-1 and №9166, which propose amendments to the Budget Code and other legislative acts to address this issue at the national level.
"This is a matter of justice and state responsibility. Therefore, our team insists that the Verkhovna Rada considers and adopts the necessary legislative changes as soon as possible to restore justice and adequately support the families of our heroes," added the politician.
According to him, this is how Kyiv emphasizes that support for the military and their families is one of its priorities.
"We, along with our colleagues in parliament, will continue to work on initiatives that will strengthen social protection for the defenders of Ukraine and their families," said Dubil.
