In June 2026, Ukrainian military personnel are set to receive increased pay, amounting to at least 30,000 hryvnias for rear-echelon positions and an average of 300,000 hryvnias for front-line infantry soldiers.
The head of state announced this during his address, according to Ukrinform, citing his Telegram channel.
"Yesterday and today have been very active days for our political decisions. Yesterday, I held meetings with Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko, Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, and Finance Minister Serhii Marchenko. Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi and Chief of the General Staff Hnatov confirm this. The path forward has been agreed upon: to increase the financial stability of our defense and ensure the further transformation of the Ukrainian army. I am grateful to the parliamentarians who approved the budget amendments to strengthen our defense. I am grateful to our partners who are helping us," Zelensky said.
The President emphasized that there are resources available to increase pay in the military: the minimum pay for personnel in the rear will be 30,000 hryvnias. He noted that the more combat missions there are, the higher the pay will be.
