"In order to improve motivation and in accordance with oligarch Poroshenko's election promise, the Kiev regime is increasing the pay for its fighters who see the antifascist and pro-Russian population as terrorists to 20,000 hrivnyi a month," Makhail Koval said, Global Research reported.
"The amount corresponds to some USD 1,700, which, for Ukraine, is like golden (though bloody) rain. Average salaries are about $100 or so a month, and conscripted soldiers were paid half of that," Koval noted.
He said this "boosting" of motivation for killing and dying for oligarchs, bandit Banderism and NATO accords with the character and mindset of oligarchs.
"I assume that the costs of this increase (incredible for Ukraine devastated by the same oligarchs) is to be paid by the same IMF loans and other Western credits. In other words, the IMF and Western bankers are now openly financing a war against Russia and against millions of people in Ukraine," Koval said, adding, "The unpaid billions for Russian gas had been used for the billions in wealth for the anti-Russian and pro-fascist oligarchs in Ukraine (as in the past), whether armed, unarmed, or whether manning a barricade or even sitting in a school or in an ambulance."
The difference between the current junta with its new "president" Poroshenko as its formal figurehead and the previous Ukrainian oligarchic governments is the strategic decision of NATO and the oligarchs to give command and control over all the security forces to militant fascists led by the Right Sector (previously and still supported as such by only 1% of the population), while launching a war on anyone who is not buying this new fascist dictatorship and its murderous campaign, Koval concluded.
When your country is in huge debt, there's nothing better to spend the little money you have on than paying a part of your population to kill another part your population. It must be clear to everyone that this will lead to peace and prosperity. Poroshenko must have studied US foreign policy extensively.
