Dictator Vladimir Putin on Saturday, November 23, signed a law allowing the write-off of overdue loans up to 10 million rubles (over UAH 4 million) to Russians who will take part in the war against Ukraine.
This was reported by the Russian propaganda agency TASS.
In particular, on November 19, the State Duma adopted the draft law in the second and third readings. It refers to those mobilized, conscripts, soldiers who entered into a contract after December 1, 2024 for a period of more than a year.
The document also clarifies that only overdue loans taken before December 1, 2023 can be written off.
On November 22, the Main Directorate of Intelligence reported that the ground part of the army of the aggressor country of the Russian Federation, which participates in hostilities against the Defense Forces of Ukraine, is about 580,000 people.
On October 4, the publication Vazhnye istorii wrote that Russia plans to recruit about 225,000 people on a contract with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in the next three years.
It was noted that the Russian authorities pledged 90 billion rubles for one-time payments for concluding a contract with the Ministry of Defense — 30 billion rubles annually. This is indicated in the draft expenditure of the federal budget of Russia for 2025−2027.
New mobilization in Russia is the main thing
The plans to increase the number of armed forces to 1.5 million servicemen were announced in December 2023 by the then Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Serhiy Shoigu.
On April 3, 2024, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, announced that Russia is preparing to begin the additional mobilization of 300,000 people by June 1, 2024.
In August, Bild wrote that Russia needs additional mobilization against the background of heavy losses at the front. Men are attracted by high salaries, and conscripts are pressured to sign contracts.
The pace of recruitment of contract workers in the Russian army has accelerated six times compared to 2023, Vazhnye istorii reported with reference to data from the budget on September 9.
On September 16, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin increased the strength of the Armed Forces of the aggressor country of the Russian Federation to 2,389,000 people, including 1.5 million military personnel.
