The resolution has already been signed by Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk, according to the government press service.

 "Everyone who takes part in the anti-terrorist operation will receive twice the monetary reward … if they are [inside] the territory of the anti-terrorist operation. For each day of their participation in combat, that is, in the implementation of a combat mission, each serviceman, from private to general, will get an additional UAH 1,000," Yatseniuk said.
