Pro-Kremlin media reported that the government of Ukraine has canceled a one-time assistance in the amount of 15 million hryvnias, now “you can forget about this money”, the Cabinet of Ministers will determine the amount of payment to the families of the deceased soldier during the Russian war against Ukraine. They say that officials made such a decision in order to “not go bankrupt”, because the Ukrainian army allegedly has “huge losses” - in the amount of “76 thousand dead” servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is not true.

The pro-Kremlin media distorted the changes in the law “On the social and legal protection of servicemen and members of their families.” Among the innovations of the law that came into force on August 25, one of the paragraphs refers to the issue of paying a lump sum in the event of the death of a military man during martial law. Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Hanna Maliar explained that a one-time payment to the families of the fallen heroes of the defenders of Ukraine remains in the amount of 15 million hryvnias. “On February 28, the government decided that the payment to the families of the dead defenders of Ukraine is 15 million hryvnias. Nobody cancels this decision and is not going to abolish it,” Maliar emphasized.

According to her, some of the people who submitted the necessary documents have already begun to receive one-time assistance from the state.

The fake pro-Kremlin media about the abolition of payments and about “76 thousand dead” defenders of Ukraine is aimed at undermining morale and discrediting the military-political leadership of the country. More details.
