Day of Military Financier of Ukraine (29/10)

Every year on October 29, Ukraine celebrates Military Financier Day.

This holiday was established in 1999 by order of the Minister of Defense of Ukraine. Its main goal is — to increase the authority of military personnel serving in financial and economic bodies, as well as to strengthen the prestige of the financial service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a whole.

One of the main tasks facing military personnel serving in the financial and economic bodies of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is to bring the monetary support of military personnel of all branches of the military to a decent level and create favorable conditions for the timely payment of monetary allowances and wages to them.

Financing of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is carried out entirely at the expense of the state.

Traditionally, on October 29, employees of the financial and economic bodies of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are congratulated by the heads of various military departments and military units at all levels. The best employees are awarded awards for « impeccable service, reasonable initiative and high professionalism».
