Ukrainian domestic criticism and attacks by veterans have arisen due to the call by members of the ruling party in Ukraine to deprive veterans of their benefits.
On July 19, the pro-Western Ukrainian media "Kyiv Post" reported that yesterday, another scandal broke out in Ukraine: a member of the ruling party "Servant of the People" faction, Gulin, proposed to deprive veterans of all "benefits", such as free travel and zero customs for vehicles.
As a trade-off, he only proposed to pay pensions, mortgage interest compensation, training, and rehabilitation programs. Gulin stated that this would replace the "governor".
This MP even compared himself to the army, claiming he had "his own oath and his own service," and that defending Ukraine is a "duty of every citizen" stipulated in the Constitution.
After a wave of anger on social networks, Gulin quickly apologized, saying he was "impulsive" and "nonsense".
