Lubinets: Over Half of Ukraine's Veterans Say the State Does Not Protect Their Rights
Ukraine's human rights commissioner Dmytro Lubinets said the country now has more than 2 million veterans. More than half of them feel the state does not protect their rights.
Dmytro Lubinets, the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights (the national ombudsman), said that Ukraine currently has more than 2 million veterans. According to him, more than half of them feel their rights are not protected by the state at all.
The report by the Ukrainian outlet Ukrainska Pravda presents this as a problem of veterans' rights protection. Its headline also conveys how veterans feel: that they are treated as if they were unneeded people.
The source does not say what survey or study the conclusion is based on, nor which specific rights veterans are said to be left without.
