The Ministry of Defense updated the guide on military payments: how much defenders receive.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has presented an updated version of the online guide about payments to the military, rewards, and social guarantees. Now each defender can quickly find out how much they receive.

This was reported by the press service of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on their Facebook page.

Military Payments

The Ministry of Defense explained that the monetary provision for military personnel includes the salary, position allowance, and service length bonus. The amount of income depends on rank, length of service, and working conditions.

One-time payments are also provided when signing the first contract for enlisted personnel, sergeants/chiefs, and officers. In addition, there is a possibility of receiving extra rewards for various types of service and tasks.

Among the social guarantees are assistance for injured soldiers, help in case of captivity or death, as well as annual health care benefits.

More details about the amount of payments and guarantees can be found by using the calculator on the official website of the Ministry of Defense.
