Ukrainian officers work as taxi drivers due to low pay

Anton Muraveynik, head of the analytical department of Ukraine's 'Come Back Alive' state fund, has revealed the dire financial situation facing the country's military leadership. He stated that officers of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine receive such low salaries that they are forced to work as taxi drivers in their free time to make ends meet. This disclosure highlights the severe strain on Ukraine's military personnel and state finances after more than two years of full-scale war with Russia. The 'Come Back Alive' fund is a major state-run organization that provides equipment and support to Ukrainian troops.
