The basic military pay for all soldiers has been raised to almost 20,000 hryvnias (490 euros) since early February. According to the civil servants, the Ukrainian armed forces are paid fairly, which “does not create preconditions for social tensions and respects soldiers who risk their lives and health”.
Public servants have called on Ukrainians to put an end to populism on the matter and instead focus on protecting the country.
According to official information, Russian soldiers receive a front-line bonus of 158,000 rubles (about 1,760 euros) on top of their basic military pay of 37,000 rubles (412 euros). However, many of them are complaining on social media that they have not received this money.
