In general, those who went to war from the capital should earn 5.2 million rubles (about 60 thousand dollars) in the first year if they survive.
Moscow authorities on Tuesday, July 23, raised the fees for those who want to fight in Ukraine to a record 1.9 million rubles ($22,000). According to Bloomberg, this is the latest sign of increasing pressure to find adequate replacements for troops, a significant number of whom have been killed and wounded on the battlefield.
It was noted that the mayor of the Russian capital, Sergei Sobyanin, issued a decree providing a large new bonus for volunteers who signed military contracts.
Now the volunteer occupiers from Moscow will receive a one-time payment of 1.9 million rubles in addition to the 600 thousand rubles paid by the city authorities monthly to increase salaries and bonuses proposed by the Russian Ministry of Defense .
In general, according to the order, those who go to war must earn 5.2 million rubles (about 60 thousand dollars) in the first year if they survive. The average monthly salary in the capital last year was about 139 thousand rubles (a little more than $1,600), according to Rosstat data.
The proposal puts Moscow at the forefront of a wage race in Russian regions seeking recruits for the Russian army as the heavy losses in the war in Ukraine continue into its third year. As the Kremlin seeks to avoid a repeat of the unpopular mobilization of 300,000 reservists in September 2022, officials are counting on cash incentives to meet the goal of recruiting a quarter of a million troops this year.
We remind you that, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the previous day, the defenders of Ukraine destroyed 1,220 invaders. The total number of losses of the Russian army since the beginning of the invasion is 568,980 military personnel.
