The deputy noted that the initiative, of course, should be considered in more detail when the bill goes directly to the State Duma for consideration.
“To get acquainted, based on the possibilities, financial and economic justification, various assessments of the expert-legal order, etc.,” the RT interlocutor believes.
He also noted the need to ensure an increase in the social status of combat veterans.
“Including on retirement, and in a number of other measures, so that the combat veteran feels the protection and support of our state.
In my opinion, it is necessary to radically revise the law “On Veterans”, because the benefits prescribed there have lost their moral and moral significance.
For example, placing a landline phone out of turn.
It is clear that almost no one has landline phones.
Even such a seemingly petty issue also plays a role.
It is necessary to increase the corresponding one-time allowances and payments for combat veterans, ”explained Shvytkin.
He added that he had recently returned from the NVO zone, where he talked with military personnel performing combat missions and with mobilized people who are preparing to leave for the front line.
“Of course, there are a number of proposals that need to be addressed at the federal level ... We must proceed from the need to improve the quality of life of various categories of citizens and, of course, now more than ever war veterans,” the parliamentarian concluded.
Earlier, the deputy head of the LDPR faction in the State Duma of Russia, Yaroslav Nilov, prepared a bill to amend Art.
32 of the federal law "On insurance pensions".
The bill provides for the early (five years earlier) appointment of an old-age insurance pension to war veterans: men who have reached the age of 60 (instead of 65) and women who have reached the age of 55 (instead of 60), if they have an insurance record of at least 15 years.
