Mobilized were promised to transfer December payments before the New Year

“The Ministry of Defense will not leave the mobilized, as well as their families, without money for the New Year. Funds for December will be paid in the same month until December 25”, - Ivanov said on his Telegram channel.

He recalled that the standard payment procedure provides for the receipt of monetary allowance from the 10th to the 20th day of each month, calculated for the previous month. The parliamentarian noted that under such a scheme, families mobilized for the New Year holidays would not receive payments, but the Ministry of Defense will make an exception in December. The amount of payments to the mobilized is equal to the military personnel under the contract and starts at 195 thousand rubles. According to a statement by Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, 300,000 Russians were drafted during partial mobilization.
