They can continue if they want, but this is a one-year contract. <…> Some things are that a person will be able to earn one million hryvnias ($24,000 at the exchange rate of the National Bank of Ukraine - TASS note) per year," he said, a video excerpt from his speech was published on the UNIAN agency's Telegram channel.
