The Air Forces commented on Bezuha's statements about 'million-dollar bonuses for the senior military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine'.

MP Maryana Bezuha published a document stating the amount of bonuses for the generals of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to it, the Commander-in-Chief can receive up to 20 million UAH. However, the head of the communications department of the Air Force Command, Yurii Ihnat, called this post a manipulation.

Bezuha spread information that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine can receive a bonus of up to 20 million UAH, the commander of the Ground Forces – up to 12.6 million UAH, the commander of the Territorial Defense Forces – up to 3.2 million UAH, and all others no more than 2.4 million UAH. Later, she explained that this is not about personal bonuses but about funds, and suggested that generals might allocate these funds to their 'favorites'.

This information outraged Yurii Ihnat. He called the MP's statements 'a blatant manipulation'.

Ihnat noted that Bezuha's words are a manipulation and do not reflect reality. He compared her actions to those of the Bolsheviks and reminded of the problems faced by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The commander of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksii Neizhpapa, also expressed his opinion on Bezuha's statements. He noted that rewarding military personnel is enshrined in the law 'On the Disciplinary Statute of the Armed Forces of Ukraine' and is a mechanism for encouragement.

The Centre for Strategic Communications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that the information published by the MP is not true and contributes to discord in Ukrainian society.

According to the report, commanders and leaders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have an annual fund for rewarding military personnel. In 2024, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine had a fund of 19 million UAH, and the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine – 1.8 million UAH.
