Abstract

The article discloses the methodology and presents the results of the study of the actual needs of the participants in hostilities with the aim of finding the most rational ways and effective tools to meet these needs. The purpose of the work is to find ways to primarily meet the urgent needs of the UBD in the following main areas: medical care and restoration of physical health; psychological help and rehabilitation; provision of housing (a plot of land); the field of labor relations; material security; education and professional development; legal aid; public respect and recognition, etc., through the use of existing and creation of new social protection tools. With the help of the author's sociological expert survey, the main problems that UBDs are already facing are identified and what UBD needs are urgent and priority; whether the social protection tools guaranteed by the legislation meet the needs of the UDB; to what extent are UBDs informed about social protection tools? It was found that the most relevant needs for UBD are: psychological help and rehabilitation; medical assistance and restoration of physical health; in housing/land provision; employment; material support.The most important needs of the UBD, in the implementation of which there are problems, are the restoration of physical and mental health, the solution of which requires the improvement and expansion of the medical infrastructure. It is very important to improve the organization of social protection, which involves simplification and transparency of its procedures and tools. UDBs are informed about social protection tools for meeting their needs by an average of 40%, which indicates the need to intensify efforts to personally inform UBDs when released to the reserve.
