Ukrainian authorities have begun issuing one-time payments to mobilized citizens, according to Strana.ua.
It is reported that 30 thousand hryvnia (about $784) was granted to 473 military personnel mobilized after December 1, 2023. The Kyiv city administration described these as single, emergency payments.
For eligibility, recipients must provide a copy of their taxpayer identification code, a passport or Ukrainian national ID, and a bank certificate confirming the opening of a social account.
On March 8, reports stated that a minibus carrying 34 individuals suspected of drug trafficking was intercepted approximately three kilometers from the Romanian border.
On the same day, Yegor Chernev, Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, stated that debates in parliament about the mobilization bill—whether a citizen’s accounts could be blocked for failing to appear at the military commissariat—have led residents to withdraw funds from their banks in large numbers.
David Arakhamia, head of the Servant of the People faction in the Verkhovna Rada, commented that Ukrainian officials might need to mobilize more citizens if aid from the United States and its allies decreases or ends.
Earlier in Ukraine, proposals emerged about punitive measures targeting the families of deserters.
