Private military companies need to be set up in Ukraine to ensure the security of various facilities and entities, Deputy Secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council Major General Serhiy Kryvonos has said in an interview with the Fakty newspaper.

"Everyone has heard a very toxic Russian Wagner [Group] private military company. But it is not the only one in the world. There are a large number of successful private military companies. We have tens of thousands of people who returned from the front, but they turned to be no longer needed in a peaceful life. Not those who defended this society need to adapt to it, but society needs to support them. A private military company is a lightning rod that will help war veterans who have failed to realize themselves continue to do what they can do qualitatively, get money for it and recognition of the state," Kryvonos said.

According to him, those who have come through the war can apply their skills, ensuring the security of various facilities and entities. "In the United States, private military companies are created so that hundreds of thousands of demobilized military personnel do not bring problems to the state. In our country, ATO veterans are not employed because they are toxic and unpredictable. The creation of private military companies will help solve this problem," he said.
