Military payments may increase under three conditions: details
Increasing the financial support of military personnel is possible only if three key conditions are met.
This was stated by military ombudsman Olga Reshetylova in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.
The first condition is the support of international partners and the understanding that the Ukrainian army actually protects European borders.
“The issue of financial support for military personnel can be resolved in several ways. The first is the awareness of our European partners that the Ukrainian army is a European army and the protection of the European border,” Reshetylova noted.
The Ombudsman called the second condition the optimization of internal processes in the state, and the third – the willingness of society to partially abandon social benefits in favor of financing the army.
According to her, only after these conditions are met will it be possible to review the level of payments to the military, but this process will not be quick.
“We all need to understand that in the fifth year of a full-scale war, something has to be given up somewhere, but you can never give up your own army,” she emphasized.
As previously reported, since January 1, 2026, the salaries of social workers in Ukraine have increased significantly.
