Money in combat: how Ukrainian soldiers will receive payments for June

Ukrainian servicemen have already received or will receive in the coming days their basic pay for June. However, combat allowances and other supplements will be credited separately. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

Separation of payments: base and bonuses

The ministry clarified that the funds that have already arrived in accounts or are due to arrive soon are the basic pay. Additional rewards for June will be paid separately. Their amount and timing depend on the type of payment and the submission of necessary documents.

Specifically, the 10,000 UAH allowance for service in the rear will arrive simultaneously with the additional reward for participation in combat operations. Currently, the Ministry of Defense, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and other military management bodies are explaining to military units the procedure for new payments for June.

Deadlines and conditions for awarding bonuses

Rewards for participation in combat operations and for taking the enemy prisoner will be credited after unit commanders issue orders specifying the payment amounts for specific servicemen.

The situation with payments for reconnaissance-strike and assault operations depends on documentary confirmation. Money will be credited depending on when the higher headquarters sends documents confirming the completion of such tasks. If the documents arrive after the established deadline, the serviceman will receive the money in the following month.

At the same time, Ministry of Defense Order No. 260 stipulates that the higher headquarters has three days to confirm assault operations.

Data verification and new rules

Rewards for destroying enemy manpower will be paid after data verification in the "Delta" system. After verification, the unit commander must issue a corresponding order. The Ministry of Defense noted that the procedure for verifying such data will be announced separately.

Recall that on June 22, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a law amending the state budget, which provides for an increase in the pay of servicemen. In addition, the government decided to strengthen the recruitment of foreigners into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. For each volunteer found and accompanied by a professional recruitment company, the state will pay 300,000 UAH.
