Defenders with partial or complete loss of sight can undergo social and everyday adaptation free of charge. The initiative of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs of Ukraine has been extended into 2026.

This was reported by the Bucha city council.

Who is eligible

The services are available to three categories: combat participants, persons with a war-related disability and serving military personnel. In other words, one may apply without a registered disability — the status of a combat participant is enough.

Documents are submitted as originals: passport and taxpayer number, the certificate of a combat participant or of a person with a war-related disability. Serving personnel additionally need a certificate confirming participation in combat or in defence operations.

Two routes — and they differ

The first: submit an electronic form through the Ministry of Veterans Affairs. The ministry specialists then select a suitable institution, so there is no need to search for one.

The second: apply directly to a rehabilitation centre of your choice. In that case the institution has to be identified independently, and the application must be accompanied by consent to the processing of personal data and the full set of documents.

Questions about the adaptation are taken on +38 (063) 230-21-72 — the medical support department of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs.
