Commanders of the combat units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who united in the "Christian Corps," handed to the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada their proposals and developments regarding the rapid development and adoption of a bill on employing veterans of the war. Working documents prepared by the Corps' lawyers were sent to the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, Ruslan Stefanchuk, and to the leaders of all faction groups in Parliament.
The Christian Corps initiative consists in providing tax incentives to those enterprises where the share of veterans exceeds 30% of the total number of employees.
"The main civil task of the Christian Corps is to show that adherence to moral precepts and Christian values can solve the biggest problems of the rear — bureaucracy, injustice, and social insecurity. That is why one of the Corps' priorities became a legislative initiative that will facilitate the integration of veterans into peaceful life. We are convinced that love for one's neighbor is not only words in a prayer, but concrete decisions that will change the life of every person. Therefore we did not wait for someone else to take care of it — we prepared a concrete document and today we are handing it over to those who have the right to make laws," said Oleksiy Serediuk, commander of the Brotherhood battalion.
This initiative was first presented at the Christian Corps presentation in the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, where it received approval from military personnel, chaplains, and representatives of public organizations. After that, the Corps brought the initiative to an open discussion, inviting all interested to a public debate. The next step was to send letters with working documents to the leadership and deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
"We have already spoken a lot of beautiful words about respecting veterans. But appeals do not create a job, do not pay for retraining, and do not compensate employers for any costs. When a businessman decides whom to hire, he counts money — and that is normal, his business, and his risk. Therefore the instrument that can truly change something must also be financial. Our proposal is exactly this: enterprises where veterans of war constitute not less than 30 percent of employees will receive tax incentives. The state does not give away anything — it simply makes the most challenging first stage of employment cheaper, which benefits all sides," emphasized Dmitro Linko, commander of the special unit "Stugna."
The Christian Corps is a union of combat units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who proclaimed Christian values as the basis of their activity and worldview. The main values for the Corps’ soldiers are love of God, love of neighbor, brotherhood, service, and honor. The mission of the Christian Corps: protection of the state, protection of the family, protection of each citizen’s own affairs.
The Corps includes the Brotherhood battalion (commander Oleksii Serediuk), special unit "Stugna" (commander Dmitro Linko), Tactical Group "Revansh" (commander of the unit "Dola"), unit "Tradition and Order" (commander of the unit Kristian Udary), active actions unit "Company of Jesus Christ" (commander of the unit "Bravyy"), the Drone Brotherhood, unit of the Belarusian volunteers (commander of the unit "Yanki"), 6-th special purpose squad within the "Timur’s Special Unit" and other combat units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The main civilian partner of the Corps is the charity fund of youth initiative "Hope."
