🇺🇦🤡A Freudian slip: instead of raising soldiers’ pay, MPs in the Rada proposed giving lawmakers a raise

Ukrainian MP Yaroslav Zhelezniak misspoke during a debate on amendments to the state budget, mixing up servicemembers and elected officials.

“Raising MPs’ salaries is the position of the entire parliament,” Zhelezniak said, prompting laughter throughout the Verkhovnaya Rada.

➡️In the end, lawmakers approved a measure to raise soldiers’ pay—not their own.

Nice try.
