Ministry of Defense explained the scheme under which funds are paid to servicemen"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>KYIV.UkraineGate , 25 , \u00a0May , 2022 | Society.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>The Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov explained the scheme of monetary payments to the military forces of the Defense of Ukraine on the national telethon .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Reznikov, the department has recently received questions about the order of payments and the difference in the amount that the military sees in their accounts.&nbsp;Reznikov explained that the salary of the military depends on rank, unit, and other components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Minister noted that the cash benefits currently received by the Ukrainian military consist of two parts: the first part is the monthly cash benefits that the military receive in accordance with their position, rank, years of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second part is an additional monetary reward, which was established on the initiative of the President of Ukraine during martial law.&nbsp;This additional remuneration is calculated according to the following logic: for those servicemen who are not involved in hostilities, the additional remuneration per month is 30 thousand hryvnias, or approximately 1 thousand hryvnias per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those soldiers who take part in the fighting, the additional reward is determined at the rate of 100 thousand hryvnias per month, or approximately 3 thousand hryvnias per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reznikov explained by example, if a serviceman is a private-shooter, and for half a month he defended the border with Hungary, and the other half of the month he took part directly in the battles in Kharkiv or Donetsk, in total for a month he will be charged:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>monthly cash security in the amount of 13-14 thousand hryvnias according to the position and rank;<\/li><li>about 15 thousand hryvnias of additional remuneration for service during martial law;<\/li><li>about 50 thousand hryvnias for direct participation in hostilities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is, the total amount in this case for an ordinary shooter is 88-89 thousand hryvnias (minus deductions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How payments are formed and technically made<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number of days that a serviceman is directly in combat, performing combat missions, is determined on the basis of combat orders and instructions issued by the military command of various structures of the defense forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the military unit submits an application to the Ministry of Defense for payment of cash security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on this application, the Ministry of Defense transfers money to the military unit.&nbsp;Then the military unit credits the funds directly to the serviceman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To receive cash benefits, a serviceman must have an account in any Ukrainian bank.&nbsp;Details of your account must be provided to the appropriate financial part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Payment of money to servicemen is made in the current month for the previous month.&nbsp;That is, in May and April.&nbsp;It is divided into two parts: in the first decade of the month, servicemen receive a monthly allowance according to position, rank and other parameters.&nbsp;In the second decade there is an additional reward of 30 or 100 thousand hryvnias for martial law and combat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Payments are divided into two parts.&nbsp;The amount of monthly cash security is known.&nbsp;It is almost the same every month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The amount of additional remuneration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The amount of additional remuneration based on the results of the month of financial service of units is calculated on the basis of combat orders.&nbsp;The more days a soldier spends in combat, the more he will receive.&nbsp;This amount can vary significantly each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It should be understood that individual units of a brigade may be in combat while others are at a permanent location, undergoing coordination, or perform other non-combat tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, within one brigade, or even a battalion, the amount of payments may not differ significantly.&nbsp;It all depends on combat orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reznikov stressed that the number of personnel of the defense forces &#8220;explosively&#8221; increased many times in just a few weeks.&nbsp;Therefore, there are still cases when in one or another part there are some problems with payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Quote<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Sometimes there were no orders to enroll people, so there was no formal reason to pay them.&nbsp;Sometimes the financiers in the units did not fully understand how to make accruals.&nbsp;To address these situations, the Ministry of Defense has formed special groups of staff to advise the financial services on all issues.&nbsp;According to the report I am receiving, there were an order of magnitude fewer problem situations in May than last month.&nbsp;Nuances or special situations with payments may still be.&nbsp;But in general, the system has already been set up, \u201dthe minister explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The head of the Ministry of Defense emphasizes that if a serviceman has questions about financial support, first of all, they should turn to the immediate commander or his deputy for work with personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If necessary, you can also contact the financial service of the military, or the hotline of the Department of Finance of the Ministry of Defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I especially want to pay attention to the payment to our soldiers who were taken prisoner.&nbsp;The cash benefits they must receive are paid to family members at their request.&nbsp;The start of payments to families may be somewhat delayed for objective reasons.&nbsp;After all, in order for these payments to begin, an appropriate order must be issued on the official position of the serviceman, \u201dthe Minister added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reznikov stressed that it is necessary not only to make sure that the soldier is in captivity.&nbsp;It is necessary to record this fact in a certain order.&nbsp;&#8220;That in the future everything worked like clockwork.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Financiers of the Ministry of Defense keep under special control the payment to the families of prisoners.&nbsp;If necessary, the head of the department urges to contact the Ministry to resolve all issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;For your understanding: in May 2022, in April, the Ministry of Defense transferred to the servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine monetary support and additional remuneration totaling 51 billion hryvnias.<br>In June, we are preparing to pay about 64 billion hryvnias.&nbsp;Let me remind you that in 2021, approximately the same amount was paid for the whole year, \u201dReznikov added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Addition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ministry of Defense of
