Families of servicemen who voluntarily surrendered to Russian captivity will lose their right to monetary support. Reported by TSN. This information comes from Kontrakty.UA.
This was explained by Roman Istomin, the spokesperson for the Poltava Regional TCC and SP, as reported by "Poltavska Khvylia".
Who can receive payments for the missing in action
Now, servicemen can designate who will receive their payments or state that they will withdraw the money themselves. To do this, they must write a personal directive indicating who should receive the funds.
50% of the monetary support for the missing serviceman is distributed equally among the first-degree relatives. The first-degree relatives include:
- parents,
- spouse,
- representative of minor children.
In the absence of a personal directive and listed first-degree relatives, 20% of the amount is divided among adult children and close siblings.
50% or 80% of the unpaid funds remain with the military unit until the serviceman returns from captivity. If it turns out that he has died or has been declared deceased by the court, this money will be included in the inheritance.
If a serviceman voluntarily surrendered, neither he nor his relatives will receive money
The regulation regarding payments does not apply to servicemen who voluntarily surrendered to captivity, deserted their military units, or deserted, says Roman Istomin.
Earlier, Zelensky responded to whether the state has enough money to pay millions to contractors.
