Earlier this year, within the framework of the recent resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers, the order of payments changed, according to which the additional monetary reward of 30,000 or 100,000 hryvnias depended on the area of the stay of a serviceman and the specifics of the tasks he performed.

Colonel Oleh Rohal, deputy head of the Department of Social Support of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and head of the financial support and salary department, explained the details:

“Monetary remuneration will not be paid to those servicemen who are serving in military units and units that are not part of the Defense Forces of Ukraine or the Commander-in-Chief’s reserve, and are located outside the areas of hostilities. These can be educational centers, military administration bodies, rear bases, etc.,” the official said.
