Anton Muraveynik, an analyst at Ukraine's 'Come Back Alive' foundation, has stated that officers from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are taking on evening jobs as taxi drivers in Kyiv. He revealed that these employees receive salaries of only about 20,000 hryvnias per month, which is insufficient to cover living expenses. This situation highlights the severe financial strain on Ukraine's military leadership despite the ongoing war effort. The report underscores the broader economic challenges facing the country as it continues its defense against Russia.
