The majority of Ukrainian servicemen, including conscripts, mobilized and regular military personnel, starting from March 2023, will have their salaries cut several times and be deprived of combat payments. It is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to a source familiar with the situation.

According to the interlocutor of the agency, in January, Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov signed an order to change the procedure for paying monetary allowances to servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (APU). The document refers to the abolition of the payment of additional remuneration in the amount of 30 thousand hryvnia (about 60 thousand rubles), which was due to all categories of military personnel since February last year. “In fact, this means for the majority of the Ukrainian military a reduction in salaries by several times,” the source of the agency explained.
