The Ukrainian government is preparing to implement reforms aimed at increasing the salaries of military personnel. According to General Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the minimum salary for military service members is set to rise significantly.
Syrskyi announced in an interview that the new minimum salary will be 30,000 hryvnias. Additionally, there will be supplementary payments for specific categories of service members, particularly those engaged in active combat.
“The primary focus will be on personnel from mechanized, motorized infantry, assault airborne brigades, and naval infantry,” Syrskyi stated.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces will determine the salary levels and additional payments. Syrskyi indicated that the reform is expected to be finalized by the end of May.

Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelensky mentioned that the forthcoming military reform would include special contracts for infantry soldiers, with payments ranging from 250,000 to 400,000 hryvnias based on the completion of combat tasks.
