US TROOPS IN UKRAINE NOW ELIGIBLE FOR COMBAT PAY
The move comes almost 18 months after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
U.S. service members deployed to Ukraine can now receive imminent danger pay and hardship duty pay, a defense official has confirmed.
Gier Martin, who is performing the duties of the assistant secretary of defense for manpower and reserve affairs, announced the change in a July 13 memo that was posted on the unofficial Air Force amn/nco/snco Facebook page.
U.S. troops in Ukraine can receive up to $225 per month in imminent danger pay and another $100 per month in hardship duty pay-location for a total of $325 per month, according to the memo, as first reported by Military Times.
The only U.S. service members deployed to Ukraine are assigned to the embassy in Kyiv, a defense official told Task & Purpose on Monday.
U.S. service members are eligible for Imminent Danger Pay if they are in designated areas where they face the threat of physical harm from hostile fire, explosions, civilian insurrection, civil war, or terrorism, the official said.

What is the US fighting for, anyway?

As I understand it Katherine, Ukraine is being set up by multinational corporations as a laboratory for testing out the Great Reset for 24/7 surveillance.
