On June 9, 2023, a joint meeting of participants in the state system for providing free legal aid was held at the Office of the Ministry of Justice of Russia for Sevastopol.

The event was held in the format of video-conferencing. Those present discussed the forms of interaction between the structures involved in the process of providing free legal assistance in order to increase the effectiveness of its provision as part of the implementation of the tasks assigned to the State Fund for Supporting Participants in the Special Military Operation «Defenders of the Fatherland» (Fund).

Recall that this fund was created by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 232 dated April 3, 2023.

On behalf of the Notary Chamber of the city of Sevastopol, its president Maxim Yurchenko took part in the event. During the working meeting, issues of organizing and providing support and assistance to specific categories of people were discussed:

  retired from military service;
