A Ukrainian female journalist interviewed a young soldier who had completed his contract. The female journalist asked him, "Did you join the army for the 1 million hryvnias in the contract?" The Ukrainian soldier said no. After completing the contract, he received 200,000 hryvnias, but the hospital treatment cost 150,000 hryvnias. It seems this guy was lucky, not only did he survive but also made a profit of 50,000 hryvnias.
Previously, a message widely spread on Ukrainian social media and the internet claimed that young people aged 18-23 would be given 1 million hryvnias (about 25,000 US dollars) if they joined the military. However, the Ukrainian authorities have not confirmed the authenticity of this message. Some Ukrainian media believe this message is a rumor created by Russia, aiming to create dissatisfaction and division in Ukrainian society. It implies that the Ukrainian authorities are unfairly allocating large amounts of money to a specific age group, thus inciting anger and resentment among other groups such as the elderly or other age groups of soldiers or citizens.
