On Saturday, 27 August, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a financial decree that will grant financial incentives to those who fled Ukrainian land and entered Russia in the wake of the latter’s invasion.
The financial decree that Vladimir Putin signed will provide 10,000 rubles monthly to those Ukrainians who come to Russia.
According to reports, pregnant women, the disabled, and seniors were all covered by the decree, which was published on a government website. As a result, those who have been compelled to leave Ukraine since February 18 will get a monthly pension of 0 (10,000 rubles). () The same amount will also be given to those with disabilities. Pregnant ladies will receive the money as a one-time benefit in the meantime.
The decree that Putin signed says that the funds will be distributed to residents of Ukraine as well as the self-declared Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, two breakaway Russian-backed entities in eastern Ukraine that Moscow recognized as independent in February, a move that Ukraine and the West deemed to be unlawful.
Putin commanded those who came from Donetsk and Luhansk to be paid 10,000 rubles
Putin commanded that everyone who came to Russia from Donetsk and Luhansk to be paid a payment of 10,000 roubles when Moscow invaded Kyiv in February of this year.
Moscow has also begun giving Russian passports to Ukrainians who have entered Russian territory. International analysts claim that Moscow is using this as an illegal ruse to annex land in the occupied region. Moscow claims it is carrying out “a special military operation” to safeguard Russian speakers who it claims have been persecuted by Ukrainian authorities and to protect itself. Kyiv rejects this.
By the end of the year, Putin aims to increase the size of the army by 137,000 soldiers, or 13%, according to the decree. The move will bring Russia’s overall armed forces up to 2.04 million people.
