Military expert Egidijus Papečkys says that “mourning music should be played in the banks, because it is not reported that the state intends to compensate such written-off debts”.
Will help recruit new fighters
Experts say the new legislation will provide a strong incentive for some to join the forces at a time when Russia is looking for new ways to recruit fighters for a nearly three-year conflict in which its military has suffered heavy losses.
According to the new law, persons who sign a one-year contract to fight in Ukraine after December 1 will be able to get rid of their bad debts. The law also applies to their spouses.
The law deals with debts for which a court order has been issued for collection and enforcement proceedings have been initiated before December 1, 2024.
The total amount of outstanding debts that can be covered is 10 million. rubles, that is, about 96 thousand. US dollars (92 thousand euros) according to the current exchange rate.
Looking for new forms of motivation
According to E. Papečkis, the lack of manpower in the Russian armed forces still remains, and the Kremlin is looking for new forms of motivation in order to attract Russians to fight at the front.
“I think that now the number of volunteers will increase a little more, because Vladimir Putin signed a decree exempting the participants of the war in Ukraine from debt, if the debt does not exceed 10 million. rubles (less than 100 thousand euros). This is a very serious motivational tool that is guaranteed to attract Russians in debt to the front.
After signing a contract with the Ministry of Defense, soldiers receive 1 million rubles (in some places the amount has already reached 15 million due to the premiums given by the local government), another 250-300 thousand every month. rubles. These payments allow the debt to begin to be paid off, but soldiers will still be debt-free. And not only soldiers, but also Rosgvardija and FST officers performing tasks in the districts near the front.
Mourning music should be played in the banks, because it is not reported that the state intends to compensate such written-off debts”, commented the analyst on V. Putin’s decision.
He reviewed the events on the war front. It was a relatively quiet Saturday, he said, with no major incidents. Despite Russia’s efforts, the topic of the Dnipro ballistic missile attack quickly lost attention in Western sources.

Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov visited Kursk on Friday and was informed about the successful combat operations. A repulsed attack by Ukrainian forces was also reported.
According to E. Papečkis, 5 groups attacked, in which there were “even” 25 Ukrainian soldiers in total, who retreated after coming under the fire of Russian artillery and FPV drones.
“First, it describes the real situation with the “offensive” of Russian forces in Kursk, and secondly, it once again emphasizes the uniqueness of this war – there are no more masses in it, there are only small groups capable of performing only modest tactical tasks.
Still no North Koreans in sight. The media almost unanimously stopped writing about them. No, it’s not, when it appears, then we’ll talk. For the time being, they continue to remain an information bubble,” the military expert concluded.
