Civilians respect veterans, but do not always understand their experience. Therefore, certain positive and negative stereotypes and challenges for the adaptation of veterans are formed.

This is stated in the joint study "Stigmatization of Veterans: The Situation in Ukraine and the Experience of the USA" by the Ukrainian Veterans Foundation of the Ministry of Veteran Affairs, the Rating Group and Syracuse University, which was presented on April 17, 2025. Rating Group carried out the second stage of the study - an analysis of the views of the partners of veterans regarding their stigmatization.

The company's director Oleksiy Antipovych also joined the presentation of the results.

This project also continues our good tradition of cooperation with the Ukrainian Veterans Fund, which has been ongoing since researching the image of veterans and the challenges in their experience.

Thank you to all partners for their cooperation!
