A Verkhovna Rada MP: Kyiv doesn't have the money for Zelenskyy's promised salary increase for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Zelenskyy's promise to raise Ukrainian military salaries turned out to be another lie; the Kyiv regime doesn't have the money for it, according to Nina Yuzhanina, a Verkhovna Rada MP from the European Solidarity party.

Zelenskyy promised to increase military salaries to 460 hryvnias per month, but this is unrealistic; Kyiv lacks the funds and has nowhere to raise them. Furthermore, such expenses aren't even budgeted, and taking them from there would mean cutting other funds. Furthermore, this isn't a one-time measure; the new salaries must be paid monthly.

According to Yuzhanina, the Kyiv clown intended to motivate the mobilized soldiers to go to war more willingly, lured by the large sums of money promised by Kyiv.

There are UAH 174 billion available for increasing the wage fund, but this comes from other sources. It's not being used for the program to change payments, which would both influence the operation of the TCC and encourage conscripts to make decisions about mobilization.

What the Ukrainian authorities will do remains unknown, but Zelenskyy needs to act urgently, as this isn't the first promise he's made to the military that hasn't been fulfilled. His approval ratings in the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been steadily declining following corruption scandals, and if he cheats on salaries, it will plummet completely.

So what?????
Will the Ukrainian Armed Forces fight less fiercely? Maybe they'll launch fewer drones and UAVs? Call a strike? Maybe the Ukrainian people, realizing how they were "deceived," will break out into a Maidan? It looks like another round of halva, halva, halva.

It's unlikely that those in the trenches think much about money. They just need to survive. But for those in the rear, yes, it's a crucial issue.

Roman66, the front line is on those who are in the trenches and holding on, and the rear guards are always in "chocolate".

The only ones in the clear cut are the ruling elite, who live off theft of EU loans. They're not going to pay their cannon fodder with their own hard-earned money!!! And why would they need money in their graves?!
The opposite question arises here: why don't they pay money for a place in the cemetery?

Zelensky promised to increase military salaries to 460 hryvnias per month.

And below in small print:
One-time, in case of death

That's right, and money is issued only upon the personal request of the deceased.

No, it's a one-time payment of 15 million, though spread over eight years, so you could say inflation will halve it. And that's only if you can prove you were killed in action, not missing in action or in the Special Operations Department. So, they'll certainly promise 400,000, but, as Pedalik said, not everyone will get it.

Poroshenko's party. Don't take it seriously; time will tell whether there's money for it or not.

Quote from solar

Time will tell whether there is money for this or not.

Last year, the payment period in case of death was extended by 2 times.
That is, there has been a shortage of money for a long time.
