Russian region
Soldiers no longer receive casualty allowance
What's going on in Russia? The Transbaikalia region in Siberia no longer wants to pay financial compensation to soldiers who were injured in the Ukraine war and suffered permanent damage.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen It is well known that the Kremlin lures Russian men to their doom with high financial incentives. Gradually, however, funds are likely to become scarce.
According to the Sibirski Express telegram channel, regional compensation for war injuries - depending on the severity of the disability - has so far amounted to between 100,000 and 500,000 roubles (currently around 925 to 4630 euros).
Medical care and petrol
The local Ministry of Social Affairs explained that the money would instead go towards medical treatment and care for the soldiers, as well as a petrol allowance. It was only in November that the Russian government, on the instructions of Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin, decided to make differentiated payments to the wounded at national level. While this was officially justified by the fact that the seriously injured would receive more money in future, according to the media there is now less compensation for many groups of injured.
Russia has been waging its war of aggression against Ukraine for almost three years. According to Western estimates, well over 100,000 Russian soldiers have fallen since then and around 500,000 have been wounded.
