Soldiers and officials deployed to Ukraine will no longer have to declare their incomes, the Kremlin said today, as they are exempted from an anti-corruption law, at a time when Moscow is trying to incentivize Russians to to fight.
The measure also concerns those who work in the four regions annexed by Russia (Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, Zaporizhia), although it does not fully control them, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov clarified.
On Thursday night, the Russian government released a decree from President Vladimir Putin exempting from the anti-corruption law “certain citizens during the special military operation” in Ukraine. Based on this text, military, police and members of the security services deployed in Ukraine, as well as other civil servants, will no longer be obliged to “disclose information about their income, expenses, property.” The measure also applies to the spouses and minor children of these persons and will be applied retroactively from February 24, 2022, i.e. from the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine.
At the same time, those concerned will have the right to receive “compensations and donations” as long as they are made “for humanitarian reasons” and “received in connection with their participation in the military operation” in Ukraine.
This decision is part of the Kremlin’s incentives to persuade Russians to fight in Ukraine: promises of large bonuses, banking facilities, financial assistance to families in the event of death or injury, etc.
