On 4 November 2026, a meeting was held in Bobrynets with war veterans, persons with disabilities as a result of the war, persons released from captivity and family members of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The organisers were representatives of the Kirovohrad Regional Organisation of the Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS), a career adviser, Deputy Mayor of Bobrynets Iryna Kharchevna, staff of the Veterans Policy Department and of the “City Centre of Social Services” of the city council, and veteran support specialists.
The main topic of discussion was the support available to those planning employment, vocational training, or starting or developing their own business:
- grants for starting and developing a business;
- non-repayable financial support / cash-for-training;
- funding for short-term vocational courses;
- opportunities for professional development and upskilling.
As a result of the meeting, two war veterans, residents of the community, expressed a wish to submit documents to receive a non-repayable grant for entrepreneurship.
Veterans’ policy in the community encompasses a whole range of programmes, decisions and measures to support war veterans and their family members.
At the same time, we stress that implementing veterans’ policy measures is impossible without the participation of the veterans themselves. This applies in particular to employment and to starting or developing one’s own business.
Take part in events and look into grants, many of which are non-repayable – information about grants in various fields is published continuously. Consult veteran support specialists, or the Department of Veterans Policy, Social Protection and Public Health of the Bobrynets City Council (administrative building, room 209), on any matters of daily life.
