“Before the war there were so many plans… I wanted to do a lot for myself, for my family. Time — that’s my biggest problem. Not fatigue. Time itself.”
Says serviceman Roman (name changed). Before the war he worked in marketing and, according to him, earned more than $5 thousand a month.
Then he spent three years on combat duty, serving as a combat medic. Now he serves in Kyiv, where his wife and two children live. His salary is about 30 thousand hryvnias, and that’s not enough to support the family.
So after his shift Roman doesn’t go home. He goes to drive a taxi.
And this is not just about being tired from having to work a second job. Roman regrets that he is again losing the time he could be spending with his children.
Stories of other servicemen who, because of low financial support in the rear, are forced to look for side jobs — in a video by Oleksandra Fedorko.
