Government to cut 19 thousand positions of state officials
Source: Ukraine’s finance ministry
The Cabinet of Ministers decided to reduce the number of vacant positions in state institutions by 19,300 starting from April 1.
Deputy Minister of Finance Roman Yermolychev explained that the vacancies cause problems for the ministries.
This situation created economic difficulties and led to the payment of higher salaries.
He added that the Ministry of Finance decided to change the approaches to the payment of civil servants, as inequality in this system was noticed.
The analysis of wages in state institutions showed that some employees are given excessively large salaries without justification.For example, in one of the departments of the regional state administration, an employee received a salary of 11 thousand hryvnias, and additional payments amounted to 620%, which led to a sixfold increase in his salary.
Therefore, the government introduces a wage reform with a new grade system of salaries in state institutions.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
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.
