This was stated by a member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, the President’s representative in Parliament Fyodor Venislavsky (“Servant of the People”).
According to him, now “it is very difficult to make any forecasts on the implementation of the relevant decision.”
There were a lot of discussions when we canceled these payments. To return them means that the state must find about 1 trillion hryvnias a year … We are all in favor of returning payments, but we need to find sources. Let’s think about it, – said Venislavsky, noting that “so far it is not easy.
On April 10, the Council voted to return military bonuses of UAH 30,000 at the expense of deputies and civil servants. But this is not enough.
The amendment from Dmitry Razumkov provides for the return of additional payments in the amount of UAH 30,000. for military personnel, police officers and employees of the State Emergency Service, regardless of the area in which they perform their tasks.
People’s Deputy Zheleznyak spoke about the nuances of making this decision, which is difficult to implement in practice.
The voted amendment returns the allowance to defenders by saving wage cuts for civil servants and management of state-owned enterprises (up to 10 times the minimum wage). But in order for the return of allowances to the military to work, it will be necessary to make changes to the state budget.
This is a very small savings. Even 2% of planned expenses [на доплати військовим] will not be enough. Let me remind you that we spent UAH 2.7 billion a day on payments to the military. Therefore, I would not yet so unequivocally assert that they returned [“тридцятки» військовим]. Salary restrictions are imposed on deputies, officials and the like, Zheleznyak said.
