The social security of WWII veterans was discussed at the meeting.

President Putin said the pension fund had enough resources to also increase the pensions of home-front workers, who would receive just as much as war veterans.

The veterans also asked President Putin to provide vehicles for their district organisations.

The President promised to institute a commemorative medal for the upcoming celebrations for the 60th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day.

Mr Putin specially thanked the representatives of veterans’ organisations for their meaningful and important work.
