The cycle of programs was launched by the Ukrainian Veterans Fund together with the Military.
The goal of the project is to provide veterans with a platform to exchange experiences and ideas that will help them reintegration into civilian life, as well as to create a bridge between veterans and society through a series of in-depth interviews, educational content, workshops, and interactive sessions.
The host of the "Spectra" project is Kateryna Suprun, a journalist from Militarny. The first guest of the program was a veteran, founder of a veteran publishing house and co-host of subsequent programs of the "Spectra" project - Marko Melnyk.
«"Now Ukrainian society is faced with the task of blurring the line so that veterans can return to civilian life and occupy their niche, which would not separate them. I understand veterans as an organic part of society. And there should be no artificial division on the part of civilians, when they demarcate veterans as the category that pays its price for winning the war, while the rest of society feels comfortable delegating defense powers. There should be no such division," says veteran Marko Melnyk.
Each program will have its own topic and speaker. Guests and presenters will discuss the rights, opportunities, psychological support, readaptation, pain, and aspirations of veterans.
The program will be released every Tuesday at 6:00 PM on the Military YouTube channel. The first episode is available at link.
