Good day! Of course, I will help you understand this law.
1. **Essence of the law:** This law expands the list of persons who have special merits to the Motherland, including those awarded the distinction of the President of Ukraine “Cross of Combat Merit”. This entails additional social guarantees and benefits for such persons.
2. **Structure and main provisions:** The law amends three existing laws of Ukraine: “On the Status of War Veterans, Guarantees of Their Social Protection”, “On Burial and Funeral Affairs” and “On Monthly Cash Payment to Certain Categories of Citizens”.
* The Law “On the Status of War Veterans, Guarantees of Their Social Protection” adds a provision that persons awarded the “Cross of Combat Merit” are recognized as having special merits to the Motherland.
* The Law “On Burial and Funeral Affairs” stipulates that those awarded the “Cross of Combat Merit” have the right to be buried with military honors.
* The Law “On Monthly Cash Payment to Certain Categories of Citizens” provides for a monthly cash payment for persons awarded the “Cross of Combat Merit” in the amount of 1.5 times the minimum wage.
3. **Most important provisions:** The most important thing is that persons awarded the “Cross of Combat Merit” are now officially recognized as having special merits to the Motherland and are entitled to a monthly cash payment. This is important for the social protection and recognition of the contribution of these people to the defense of the country.
