President Zelenskyy: Hundreds of unjustified disabilities found among officials

“The problem is also that people with real disabilities, in particular those disabled in combat, are often unable to get proper status and fair payments,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on October 22.

Dear Ukrainians!

Today, there are several key things.

First, I held a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council. It addressed numerous instances of violations by MSEC and fraudulent disabilities among officials. It’s not just prosecutors, by the way.

There are hundreds of such instances of clearly unjustified disabilities among officials in Customs, Tax Service, Pension Fund system, and local administrations. All of this needs to be dealt with thoroughly and swiftly. The MSEC system should be abolished.

But for real and comprehensive change, we need to fully digitalize all stages of the disability assessment process.

Government officials – in the Ministry of Digital Transformation, in the digital team of the Ministry of Defense – have the power to ensure the relevant changes.

The problem is not only that officials use their connections to obtain disability status.
