Servicemen Wait on Reward: Ukrainian paratroopers say government owes them payment

After serving for more than five months on the frontline in the east of Ukraine fighting against Russian-backed militants these Ukrainian paratroopers say they are not ready to go home.

Their bags are packed but these men from the 90th airborne battalion say they are not ready to be demobilised because they are still waiting for the government to issue them owed payment.

The men here say that they have video footage of destroying enemy equipment a few months back for which they were promised a reward of 42,000 UAH or close to USD 2,000 by the government. But they have yet to receive any money.
