Families of prisoners of war and defenders missing in action from the Irpin community met Dmytro Usov, secretary of the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War.

This was reported by Oleksandr Pashchynskyi, First Deputy Mayor of Irpin.

Soldiers’ families and representatives of the Irpin Veterans’ Space centre attended in person. They discussed the problems families face, protecting the rights of service members and stronger contact with the state bodies responsible for these issues.

More than 160 such families from the Irpin community are currently supported by specialists from the Veterans’ Space centre and the Department of Veterans’ Policy. Each of them needs access to information, professional help and constant support with difficult issues.

These families live in constant expectation of news about their loved ones. Our duty is to be there for them, to hear their needs, to help them defend their rights and to provide the support they need.
