[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

A course of action has been approved – to increase the financial sustainability of our defense and ensure the continued transformation of the Ukrainian Army.

First – pay. We have the resources to increase pay in the military. The minimum will be 30,000 hryvnias in rear areas. The more combat missions, the higher the level of pay. There will be new, significantly stronger contracts for infantry personnel. On average, 300,000 hryvnias on the front line. Everything depends on our Ukrainian infantryman.

The contracts will be structured to ensure clarity: contract terms of 10, 14, and 24 months with clear conditions – meaning clear temporary discharge. Guaranteed terms – and real temporary discharge. In addition, payments for Ukrainian combat commanders will be increased, and this should create a positive incentive to preserve command experience within the Army.

Second, I am grateful to all the volunteers from other countries who are fighting for freedom in Ukraine. I have instructed that significantly more opportunities be opened for foreign volunteers to join the Ukrainian Army. There will be additional recruitment mechanisms to support this.

Third, further simplification of transfers for warriors, more opportunities to advance within the Army, and more positive incentives to join the defense.
I expect every element of the changes now being implemented to show its effectiveness this summer. The Ministry of Defense will present the details of the decisions.

Jimmy Kimmel accuses Elon Musk of 'stealing' as SpaceX founder becomes a trillionaire https://t.co/Wp080JdXqg

@nypost If the new rich start becoming Trillionaires it's actually stupid rich.

[J.A.Mac @Drawingcard]

@elonmusk Now you're technically a Trillionaire? That's great for you. But it kind of makes a mockery of money. How much money is too much money? You're not that old yet either. Will you be a 2 Trillionaire, or 3 in 10 years? 20 years? We should just declare money worthless.

@mochi_kozloff @ZelenskyyUa No I haven't read anything Putin wrote. I'm not a fan of him and don't like him or what he's doing to Ukraine. I'd like to find a way to help stop the war. But I'm nobody, and not an expert. But perhaps if we talk about it we'll find a way.

Instead of aliens coming to Earth and we're amazed by them and their spacecrafts perhaps we can turn it around and if they ever come to Earth they'll be surprised by us! Let's make more advanced tech and UFOs then them!
