Advisor to the President of Ukraine and Minister of Defense Yuriy Biryukov stated this on Channel 5.
According to him, if compared not with the strongest NATO country, Poland, then almost ten times less is spent on providing for one Ukrainian soldier.
“We allocate 9,5 thousand dollars a year for one average soldier of the Armed Forces. This is for everything - from fuel for the tank, to salary, first aid kit, uniform - the whole spectrum. That is, this is the budget divided by the number of military personnel. The European country closest to us on the list is Albania, which allocates $21 per military personnel. In Poland, about 90 thousand dollars. In order to provide according to NATO standards, it would be nice for the state to allocate money according to NATO standards,” Biryukov said.
