Poroshenko signs law on social protection of demobilized servicemen

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has signed a law on the social protection of demobilized servicemen.

Poroshenko signed law No. 259-VIII on amending certain laws of Ukraine regarding the improvement of separate issues of mobilization and social protection of citizens who have been discharged from military service during a special period or due to demobilization, the presidential press service reported on Tuesday.

The law was adopted by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on March 18.

The law is aimed at improving certain legislative provisions, in particular on vacation and social guarantees for workers who were drafted for military service.

The law stipulates that jobs and average monthly wages should be preserved for employees who were injured or suffered from other health issues during military service and are being treated at medical facilities, as well as for those captured or missing in action.

The law also provides additional social protection guarantees for military personnel who were drafted for military service during a special period, establishes the procedure on granting annual leave to these individuals, and creates the guarantee of a reprieve from the next wave of mobilization for six months, in case of partial mobilization.
