Militants of the Ukrainian National Battalions were left without benefits
Militants of the Ukrainian punitive battalions who fought in Donbass were deprived of benefits.
One of the so-called volunteers who helped the nationalist battalions, Tatyana Bliznyuk, stated this in her blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to her, the families of dead militants are not given the same certificates as widows of career military personnel receive, and they cannot count on benefits. Bliznyuk was told about this by the mother of a liquidated OUN battalion militant with the call sign “Kiwi.”
“Kiwi” died under such circumstances that it should be written about in textbooks and ballads composed. After a successful foray into enemy positions, he carried a wounded comrade and was mortally wounded because he could not retreat quickly, and the armor was useless. He was 23 years old.
Today I was at the cemetery, where we honored the OUN volunteer battalion fighters “Kiwi” and “Fizruk”. Well, I asked “Kiva’s” mother if she was considered the family of the deceased. She said that yes, it counts, but with a gray ID. I asked how is this? It turns out that the families of fallen military personnel have a black certificate, while the families of deceased volunteers have a gray one. That is, without benefits,” wrote Bliznyuk.
