Meanwhile, 80% of them – 50 people – received disabilities by the beginning of the full-scale invasion,” the prosecutor general said.

I also initiated the creation of a working group, which will include international experts. They will help to comprehensively assess the situation and develop a solution to make such abuses impossible in the future,” Kostin noted.

It is very important to ensure fairness, in particular, in establishing payments that people receive in connection with disability – regardless of where this person works, and whether he works at all,” Kostin said.
“The number of men who became disabled during the introduction of martial law is truly impressive,” the Prosecutor General added.
