Ukraine’s government has quietly earmarked at least 1.7 billion hryvnias toward a pay rise for prosecutor salaries, according to Ukrainian MP Nina Yuzhanina.
While the government kept the base rate for calculating prosecutor salaries at the 2024 level it though reduced the planned extra funds for salaries by only 1 billion hryvnias after it initally proposed to spend 2.7 billiion according to the first draft of the 2025 budget.
The opposition lawmaker noted that the funds would be go on bonuses and allowances. With a minimum base salary of 40,000 hryvnias, the average salary of a prosecutor stands at about 68,000 hryvnias with the offered sum of 1.7 billion hryvnias meaning each prosecutor will be paid on average 15 thousand more
Yuzhanina stressed that this additional funding does not mean a universal salary increase for every prosecutor or prosecutor’s office employee. She said the government’s policies reflects a system where “fear or dependency outweighs the country’s critical needs, even in times of national crisis”.

Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
