IREX’s Veteran Reintegration (VR) program, in collaboration with its local partners, conducted a year-long research project in Ukraine to assess veterans’ needs as a result of the conflict in the East. The goal was to fill critical gaps in the understanding of Ukrainian veteran’s issues and provide a set of actionable recommendations to decision makers and other stakeholders in Ukraine. The following reports describe each area of research in detail:
