According to the battalion soldiers, military representatives of the financial department said that the soldiers would no longer receive their salaries if they did not change the bank.
According to the company sergeant major of the 17th battalion, the soldiers are panicking and trying to figure out what to do now. Most of all, they are outraged by the fact that when asked to transfer fresh food, the ATO command referred to difficult combat conditions, and brought unnecessary cards right away - under bullets and shells.
“People are under constant fire, they only come to us in armored personnel carriers and cannot deliver food in any way, but here you go – transfer your salaries to Oschadbank,” EspressoTV quotes one of the fighters of the 17th battalion. “Why is there such a rush, for this, first of all, you need to go home to do everything correctly and how now to transfer money to families?”
As PolitNavigator reported, previously military personnel in the ATO zone were indignant at the fact that they were deprived of the right to receive wages in the way that was convenient for them, and, in fact, leaving their families without a means of subsistence.
