Belgium Will Fund the VISP Digital Platform for Veterans
During his visit to Kyiv on August 18, Belgian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot announced the allocation of 4 million euros to support the Veteran Interoperable Service Platform (VISP)—a platform for veterans.
Thanks to this funding, Belgium will fully cover the cost of the project, which is being implemented as part of NATO’s Comprehensive Assistance Package for Ukraine.
“Ukraine is building a new veteran support system on its own, and Belgium is helping to make it simpler, more reliable, and more accessible. By fully funding this platform, we are specifically helping veterans gain access to the medical care, services, and rights they deserve,” Prevo stated.
The VISP project is being developed in collaboration with Ukraine’s Ministry of Veterans Affairs and directly supports the government’s reform efforts in this area. It is part of Ukraine’s Veterans Policy Strategy for the period up to 2030 and the Strategy for Transition from Military Service to Civilian Life.
In practice, the platform will modernize the ministry’s digital ecosystem and enable better integration of various government services. It is intended to make services for veterans more accessible, secure, and better coordinated. Specifically, the project involves the development of digital services, strengthening cybersecurity and institutional capacity, and improving information sharing among relevant government agencies.
This is stated in a press release provided to Ukrinform by the Belgian Embassy in Ukraine.
As a reminder, First Deputy Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and briefed him on the state of Ukraine’s energy system ahead of the winter season. He outlined the key needs that international partners should help address.
The Kharkiv region has received a new 25 MVA power transformer, which will be used to ensure the operation of the region’s critical energy infrastructure.
