MP Dubil: The cost of feeding an injured soldier was 39.70 UAH. The government will allocate an additional 2.1 billion UAH for hospital meal programs.

The daily cost of a menu for an injured soldier cannot be 39.70 UAH when the price for a tray of eggs in supermarkets hovers around 80 UAH. According to NATO standards, the amount allocated for the nutrition of military personnel undergoing treatment should be no less than 200 UAH. This statement was made by Valeriy Dubil, Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Health of the Nation, head of the "Batkivshchyna" party in Kyiv, and Deputy to Yulia Tymoshenko, in a comment to RBC-Ukraine.
Нардеп Дубиль сообщил, что стоимость питания раненого военного составляет 39,70 грн. Правительство выделит 2,1 млрд грн для улучшения меню в госпиталях.

"We have achieved this. The government will ensure quality nutrition for Ukrainian defenders in medical institutions," said the politician. "For over a year, our team, led by Yulia Tymoshenko, who heads the temporary investigative commission on the treatment and rehabilitation of military personnel, has been working to increase funding. We have secured decent conditions for the nourishment of our fighters, and starting this year, the changes will be noticeable."

Dubil noted that he, along with Tymoshenko and the team, is in constant contact with medical institutions across the country.

"The humanitarian mission to hospitals and medical facilities has been ongoing since the first month of the full-scale enemy invasion. We visit both civilian and military hospitals in Donetsk, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Odesa, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kyiv, Kirovohrad, and other regions. We understand how challenging it is for our dedicated and selfless medical personnel and see the immense effort put into restoring the health of our heroes. Nutrition is crucial in this recovery process. The government’s increase in funding for nutrition is our interim victory on the path to Ukraine's victory," he added.
