Глава Чувашии ввел выплату семьям погибших участников СВО в приграничных регионах России

Russian leader introduces payment for families of those killed in Ukraine

Families of service members from the Russian regions bordering Ukraine who are killed fighting will receive a 1 million ruble (about $14,000) payout

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on Monday, November 21, ordering a one-time payment of 1 million rubles ($14,000) to the families of Russian servicemen from border regions who are killed fighting in Ukraine. The decree applies to the families of servicemen from the Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, and Rostov regions, as well as those from the Crimean Peninsula. The payments will be made to the families of servicemen who have been killed since February 24, 2022, the date that Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine.

The decree is the latest in a series of measures that the Russian government has taken to support the families of those killed in Ukraine. In March, the government announced that it would provide financial assistance to the families of all servicemen killed in Ukraine, regardless of their region of origin. The government has also established a number of social programs to support the families of those killed, including providing free education and healthcare.

The decree is likely to be welcomed by the families of those killed in Ukraine. However, it is also likely to raise concerns about the number of Russian servicemen who have been killed in the conflict. The Russian government has not released official figures on the number of casualties, but Western estimates suggest that thousands of Russian servicemen have been killed in Ukraine.

The decree is also likely to be seen as a sign that the Russian government is preparing for a long and bloody conflict in Ukraine. The conflict has already lasted for over nine months, and there is no sign of an end in sight. The decree suggests that the Russian government is prepared to continue fighting in Ukraine for as long as it takes to achieve its goals.
