"Offer leveling": The Council wants to cancel surcharges to the military in 30 thousand UAH

This was written by the People's Deputy of Ukraine from the Voice Party Yaroslav Zheleznyak in his Telegram-channel. "This is exactly the law where the payment of payments and the restriction of salaries has passed," Zheleznyak said. The People's Deputy also informed that the law cannot be signed until the decision was considered in the parliament hall. Despite the schedule of the meeting, this will not happen in the coming weeks.

The initiator of the bill is the People's Deputy of the Parliamentary faction "Voice" Vladimir Tsabal. Volodymyr Tsabal MP from Voice wrote a post on Facebook, in which he told why, in his opinion, the 48th correction to Bill No. 8312 cannot be implemented under the current conditions. According to the Tsebal, the claimed cutting of salaries for civil servants will allow only 2% of the amount required for payments to the military.

"In the worst case, the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will have to finance this" shortage "in 98% within the current expenses. That is, in fact, at the expense of the military who on the front line, since where to take the remaining 98% of the authors of the amendment forgot to offer," - said the People's Deputy.

Volodymyr Tsabal also stated that in order for the "saved" money to be paid to the military, it is necessary to amend the Budget Act of 2023 in the article of expenditures of each specific body. In addition, the People's Deputy believes that it will be unfairly paying the same allowances regardless of the place of service. "The authors offer" leveling ".

That is, to make military or police officers who serve in Zaporozhye or Kherson (near the line of collision), they received the same allowance as an employee of the SES in Transcarpathia, a military in Chernivtsi, or a police officer in Frankivsk," Tsabal. According to the People's Deputy, the amendment also violates the large number of Ukraine's obligations to the EU, the IMF and other donors. "Increasing the financing of the security and defense sector should be real actions, not" on paper ".

Populism does not win the war - only a thoughtful fiscal and budgetary policy will help to defeat the enemy," said Vladimir Tsabal. It should be reminded that on April 11, the Verkhovna Rada voted for the return of allowances to the military, employees of the SES and police at 30 thousand hryvnias. 277 people's deputies voted in favor of the bill No. 8312.
