President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine submitted to the Verkhovna Rada a draft law laying down for the military participating in combat missions on Russian territory all bonuses and preferences to which other servicepersons are entitled who are deployed in the warzone.
That’s according to a memo to the bill on amendments to the law on social and legal protection of servicemen and their families (No. 11483), posted on the parliament website.
The memo reads that the implementation of the law will require no additional budget expenditures. The law applies to military personnel on missions outside Ukraine, including on the territory of the aggressor state.
