Putin Hikes Salary Of New Russian Soldiers; Big Boost For Moscow’s Troops Amid Ukraine War Gains

President Vladimir Putin has doubled the signing bonuses for soldiers joining the fight in Ukraine. New recruits will now receive 400,000 roubles ($4,661) upfront, with regional authorities matching this payment. These financial boosts aim to prevent nationwide mobilization and support the current 190,000 volunteers this year. Critics warn these payments may trigger an economic wage spiral.

  1. Just a thought…if an employer calls for new recruits without giving the same increase to existing staff who are experienced in their trade…that's suicide !!

  2. Fact check re money for new recruits: this is a one off payment given on signing a contract and not an increase to the monthly salary. This increase is being made to anyone who volunteers to join but not to those conscripted. It is also only available to those who volunteer between August and December of this year.

  3. Zelensky has his backside on Fire 🔥. Pack your bags and Run boy Run. Another East Germany in the making when Russia comes a calling…..coz your western friends have exhausted all their money and weapons to support a silly comedian who promised he will win the war.

  4. Figures speak for themselves while the US could not bribe its citizens to enroll in the army Russian people are eager to serve their motherland which they believe in, and are happy to die for that purpose, so which country is going to the swamps????.

  5. Those who blindly praise the illegal invader Russia and repeatedly post incantations against the United States and the countries it supports are not Indians. Those who post in groups every day in order to brainwash Indians and weaken India by alienating it from the liberal camp are "foreign fanatics who have been brainwashed and deprived of reason by the anti-social ideology of anti-American gurus who praise invasion."
