The Mykolaiv Regional Council is proposing the creation of a new public institution, «Vector of Dignity». It will be responsible for organising measures to reintegrate Ukraine’s defenders and their family members, including counselling, rehabilitation, and psychological and social support. It is proposed that veteran Pavlo Poznanskyi be appointed as director.

This is stated in the draft resolutions of the Mykolaiv Regional Council, according to NikVesti.

Councillors are to consider the issue of establishing the new municipal institution and approve its regulations. These outline the remit of «Vector of Dignity». This involves organising activities for the reintegration of military personnel and their families: advising them on starting their own businesses, organising training and retraining, providing support, rehabilitation, adaptation, psychological, legal and social assistance, and support for veterans and demobilised personnel.
