Ukrainian military personnel complain that they do not receive enough money in the army, and the war in Donbass has not been an easy ride.
A Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier named Arthur spoke about this in a commentary to the Kyiv online newspaper “Strana”, explaining why from the Ukrainian army Contract workers are quitting en masse.
“When you’re on the front end, there’s enough money with surcharges. Everything arrives regularly, we don’t complain about delays. Of course, risking your life for over 11 thousand under fire is too much. At first it’s cool, you feel like a Terminator from a movie - you shoot at separatists at night with a machine gun. But when I first saw how a bullet flew into my comrade’s head from a sniper on the other side, I felt uneasy. Brains out, but only a minute ago we were discussing how we would film girls in Kram (Kramatorsk), ”said the serviceman.
He added that once the contract expires, it will not be renewed.
“Now in the rear you can easily find a salary of ten thousand hryvnia. No bullets in the head and no shelling...”, the soldier emphasized.
