A state fund to support the families of fallen fighters, as well as veterans of the special military operation to be established in Russia

Russian President instructed to provide a vacation of at least 14 days every six months for the participants in the special military operation.

A special state fund for targeted assistance to veterans of the special military operation and the families of fallen soldiers. This proposal was made by President Vladimir Putin during his Address to the Federal Assembly. Among other support measures is a two–week vacation for all participants in the special military operation.

A dedicated state fund will be aimed at bringing targeted, personalised assistance to the families of fallen fighters, as well as veterans of the special military operation. This entity will be tasked with coordinating efforts to offer social, medical support and counselling, and also address matters related to sending them to health resorts and providing rehabilitation services, while also assisting them in education, sports, employment and in acquiring a new profession. This fund will also have an essential mission to ensure long-term home care and high-technology prosthetics for those who need that.

V. Putin instructed the Government to resolve all organizational issues in the shortest possible time. The President of Russia noted that every family without exception, and every veteran will have their personal social worker, a coordinator, who will be there for them in person to resolve in real time any issue they might face.

The creation of a special fund does not remove responsibility from other departments of government, drew attention to V.Putin. He instructed federal agencies, regions and municipalities to pay close attention to veterans, military personnel and their families in the future.

The President of the country noted that serving in the special military operation causes immense physical and mental stress, since people risk their health and life every day. “For this reason, I believe that the mobilised conscripts, as well as all service personnel, and all those taking part in the special military operation, including volunteers, must benefit from a leave of absence of at least 14 days every six months without counting the time it takes them to travel to their destination. This way, every fighter will be able to meet family and spend time with their loved ones.”-V. Putin said.
