Russians are paid for a friend in the army/Collage 24 Channel

In Russia, non-standard monetary incentives for contract service in the army have begun to be practiced. So, in some regions, a person who brings his friend to the military registration and enlistment office is paid 100 thousand rubles

At the Institute for the Study of War they said that the head of the Yaroslavl region, Mikhail Evraev announced that he would pay 100 thousand rubles (about $1,150) to each person who brings his friend to the military registration and enlistment office – and if he signs a contract.

Russians will pay for a friend

Previously, such an initiative was introduced in Tatarstan. Deputy Chairman of the Russian State Duma Committee on State Building and Legislation Yuri Sinelshchikov said that the new conscription mechanism is risky and that Russians can abuse this system.

He wants to consolidate this mechanism in the Russian legislation Sinelshchikov also expressed concern about whether the constituent entities of the federation will be able to provide financing for such initiatives.

Russian media write that some Russians sign contracts to earn money to pay off gambling debts .

ISW also reports that the Russian armed forces are developing and formalizing a specialization of military motorcycles. This measure was probably introduced in response to increased attacks by Ukrainian drones. They force the Russian military to use small and fast vehicles for advanced logistics and movement.
