The Cabinet of Ministers increased the monetary support for the military on the front line by UAH 70,000.

"The Cabinet of Ministers has just passed a resolution and increased the monetary support for the military on the front line by another UAH 70,000," he wrote.

According to Honcharenko, now the military on the front line in addition to a salary of UAH 20,000-25,000 and combat allowances of UAH 100,000, have the right to an additional payment of UAH 70,000.

Later, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced on his Telegram channel that, in accordance with a joint initiative of the Verkhovna Rada and the Government, an additional payment of UAH 70,000 was established today for military personnel and police officers who perform combat tasks on the front line.
