"A salary of 30,000 is the right story": Kim explained the payments to the director of the destroyed Mykolaiv airport

The salary of the director of the non-operational Mykolaiv airport, which was devastated due to military actions, is approximately 35,000 hryvnias per month, with the remaining funds in his declaration being pension payments.

This was stated by the head of the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration, Vitaliy Kim, in response to journalists' questions about why the director of the non-operational enterprise reported an annual income of 700,000 hryvnias and how relevant it is to pay a high salary to the airport director.

- He receives 35,000 here, the rest is his pension. He maintains a minimal staff to avoid losing the flight license. If we dismiss the employees currently there, we will lose the license, and restoring it will cost significantly more. Therefore, I believe that a salary of 30,000 plus hryvnias, and that he is doing what he should be doing, not sitting at home — this is the right story, - said Kim.

Additionally, earlier, the runway and the airport itself were hit by Russian missiles at least three times.
