Kubans are promised a million rubles for signing a contract for army service

In the Krasnodar Krai, the one-time payment to participants in the war in Ukraine was doubled – from 500,000 to one million rubles. The day before, the authorities of the Rostov region announced an increase in the payment of servicemen and volunteers who signed a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense to 700,000 rubles.

The head of the region, Veniamin Kondratiev, announced the new payment amount for the Kubans. Those who sign a contract with the Ministry of Defense from April 1 will receive this money. He did not specify from which sources the expenses would be financed. The governor noted that, in addition to the monetary payment, there are more than 30 support measures for the families of the participants in the invasion of Ukraine in the region.

This is the third increase since the beginning of the year in the one-time payment to the participants of the war in Ukraine on the Kuban – on February 2, the amount of the payment was increased from 200 to 300 thousand rubles, then it was announced that the funds would be allocated from the reserve fund of the region, and ten days later – up to 500 thousand rubles.

According to the publication “7×7”, previously the maximum regional payment was established in the Leningrad region – 905 thousand rubles.

In addition to regional payments, those who draw up a contract with the Ministry of Defense receive federal payments.
