    Ukraine: Additional Financial Assistance for Captured Military Personnel

The Verkhovna Rada passed the relevant law last year, but the calculation mechanism was not regulated until now. The Office of the Military Ombudsman reported that military personnel who need inpatient treatment for more than 30 days will receive an additional monthly payment of 50,000 UAH. This extends financial support to released prisoners of war not only with injuries but also with health issues resulting from captivity.
