Parliament plans to increase payments and benefits to mobilized and contract soldiers
The future of Ukraine today depends on a strong and capable army.
The state must ensure that experienced and professional soldiers who defend the state want to stay in the ranks of the Defense Forces even after they are eligible for demobilization or the end of their contract. And the conscripts must be properly trained for military service.
Roman Kostenko, Secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, believes that the state now needs to transform from an army of mobilized people to an army of professional and motivated servicemen. To do this, Ukrainian defenders need an effective and predictable system of additional payments, benefits, and guarantees. The focus is on the direct participants in the fighting.
That is why he is proposing appropriate changes to the legislation. Mr. Kostenko calls on his colleagues to support the draft law No. 11012 in the first reading and to submit their proposals for the second reading.
Representatives of the Cabinet of Ministers and the Presidential Office are also expected to join the discussion.
Such issues should unite all political forces. More than 70 MPs from different factions have already supported this initiative.
The proposals are briefly described in the slides in this post.
