Russian agencies said the law provides for the write-off of up to 10 million rubles ($95,835) in overdue debts
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law today to write off the debts of conscripts joining the army to fight in Ukraine, a Russian government website said.
Russian agencies said the law provides for the cancellation of up to 10 million rubles ($95,835) in arrears for those who sign contracts with the defense ministry to fight in Ukraine for at least a year, starting on December 1.
The law applies to all potential recruits against whom debt collection proceedings have been initiated before 1 December.
Russia is trying to recruit more men, offering ever-greater pay, in some cases multiples of the average wage, to those willing to fight in Ukraine.
This tactic allowed the military to increase its manpower in the conflict zone while avoiding another round of general conscription, which would have caused a mass exodus from Russia in September 2022.
