The Ministry of Defense revealed details of the new monetary provision system for servicemen and the introduction of three types of contracts.

Thus, the average level of monetary provision for infantrymen within the new model will be about 300 thousand UAH per month, with maximum payments up to 460 thousand UAH.

Additional payments are also provided for participation in combat missions: 10 thousand UAH for each day spent on positions and 40 thousand UAH for an "assault day." These payments will apply both to mobilized personnel and contract servicemen.

Separately, the Ministry of Defense notes that for servicemen who have been on combat positions for a long time, a gradual mechanism for discharge from service is planned by the end of the year.

New types of contracts

The Ministry of Defense is launching three main contract formats:

Infantry-assault contract — for infantrymen, assault troops, snipers, and scouts. Service term — 10 or 14 months, after which a 6-month deferment from mobilization is granted.

Combat contract — for other combat positions (except infantry-assault). Term — 24 months. After completion of service, a 6-month deferment is also provided.

Basic contract — for logistics, technical units, and headquarters. Term — 24 months with the possibility of switching between contract types.
