Where do military personnel get paid the most: what does the amount of payments actually depend on

The largest payments are provided for under the terms of the infantry assault contract, but the actual amount depends on the position, the combat tasks performed and the additional payments provided for them.

The amount of payments under new contracts depends not so much on the name of a specific brigade as on the nature of the service and the tasks performed by the serviceman. This is reported by the “Sudovo-Yurydychna Gazeta“, the PromPolitInform portal reports.

The highest payments are provided for under the terms of the infantry assault contract. It can be concluded by servicemen who hold relevant positions in infantry, assault, mechanized and airborne assault units.

Under the new conditions, the average amount of payments is about 300 thousand hryvnias per month. A serviceman can receive up to 460 thousand hryvnias per month at most.

At the same time, this amount is not a fixed monthly payment for each serviceman. The amount of financial support depends on the tasks performed and the additional payments provided for their performance.

In particular, a payment of 10 thousand hryvnias is provided for one day of stay in combat positions.

For the performance of shock and search operations, 20 thousand hryvnias are provided, and for assault operations with advancement – 40 thousand hryvnias.

Thus, the largest payments under the new terms of contracts are related to the performance of combat and assault tasks.
