The war that has broken out on the territory of our state destroys hundreds of lives of ordinary people every day. Russian war criminals cynically destroy the homes of Ukrainians, leaving them homeless and taking away their health. The level of disability of the population has increased significantly. That is why the demand for prosthetics at state expense has increased. Who can apply for such social guarantees, and what documents should be submitted to the TsNAP, we tell you further.
