The ministry was officially established on 22 November 2018.[1] Between August 2019 and March 2020, the ministry was temporarily merged with the Ministry of Temporarily Occupied Territories and IDPs.
History
[edit]On 27 February 2018, the Ukrainian Parliament adopted an appeal to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine to create a Ministry for Veterans' Affairs "to ensure the formation and implementation of state policy in the field of social protection of war veterans."[1] The appeal proposed to the Government to establish a Ministry for Veterans' Affairs on the basis of the State Service for War Veterans and Participants of the Anti-Terrorist Operation.[1]
The Ministry's first minister was Iryna Friz, who was appointed (also) on 22 November 2018.[1] On the day of her appointment Friz expected the ministry to be fully functional in June 2019.[3]
On 29 August 2019, the Honcharuk Government merged the ministry with the Ministry of Temporarily Occupied Territories and IDPs.[4] During this time, the agency existed as the State Service of Ukraine on Veterans Affairs that exists since 2014. On 4 March 2020, the new Shmyhal Government unmerged the two ministries.[5]
