Soldiers who were captured will receive UAH 50 000 per month

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has adopted Bill No. 13627, which allows military personnel released from captivity and those requiring inpatient treatment for more than 30 days to receive a monthly payment of UAH 50 000.

This is stated on the parliamentʼs website.

244 MPs voted for the relevant initiative.

The explanatory note states that payments will be made during the first three months of treatment. In addition, the document simplifies the procedure for issuing certificates for injuries or illnesses received during captivity, in order to avoid bureaucratic obstacles and different interpretations of the norms.

Currently, such payments are only provided for military personnel who have wounds, contusions, or injuries.

• On July 28, President Volodymyr Zelensky signed Bill No. 13168 on amendments to the Law “On Social and Legal Protection of Military Personnel and Members of Their Families”.
• It provides that families of military personnel who died in captivity during martial law will receive a one-time payment of UAH 15 million. The law also extended the period for payment of benefits from three months to a year for wounded or sick military personnel, even if they are not disabled.
