All volunteers who went to the special operation zone from Crimea will receive regional payments of 200 thousand rubles. Also, this issue will be resolved with soldiers who live in Crimea, but are assigned to military registration and enlistment offices in other regions of the Russian Federation.
The head of Crimea, Sergei Aksenov, announced this today at a meeting in the Kirov region, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Before the New Year, we will resolve issues related to the families of all participants of the Northern Military District - mobilized, contract soldiers, volunteers. And it doesn’t matter who came out, where or how,” he noted. – Today we spoke with Deputy Prime Minister Romanovskaya to work out the situation so that volunteers from other constituent entities of the Russian Federation who came through Crimea to get settled should also count on our republican payment. And those who left through other regions, from Volgograd, Rostov, etc. “I ask for all our Crimeans, everyone who is fighting, who voluntarily left the territory of the republic, for everyone to receive increased attention on all issues.”
Aksenov emphasized that it is no longer possible to name the amount of aid transferred to the front line and the numbers of the military units for which it is intended. However, according to the head, 4 thousand pairs of winter boots have already been received, and a shipment of modern body armor and helmets is on the way. Therefore, within a week all requests for ammunition will be satisfied.
“The families of everyone who participates in the SVO will receive increased attention. The families of the dead guys who gave their lives defending our homeland receive special attention. Each family must have a professional assignment and a telephone number for the head of the administration, the head of Crimea instructed. – In general, today the measures that are being taken on behalf of the president regarding the development of a special operation allow us to say that nothing threatens Crimea in this situation.
From the point of view of drones, there is a single point danger, they can fly over and so on. But, nevertheless, air defense systems are being improved, the military themselves comment when the systems are triggered. I don’t comment, I don’t always have time, I won’t lie. Definitely, the units that shot down this or that aircraft should comment. In any case, everything is under control in Crimea.”
Practice shows that control is not enough. On Aksenov’s page on social networks, Crimeans complain that volunteers went to the front through the republican military registration and enlistment office, and signed a contract with those territorial units where they were indicated. Now such fighters are denied payments and Crimean benefits.
But the most blatantly unfair situation arose in Dzhankoy. As local activist Galina Aleynikova told PolitNavigator, local landlords have raised prices for daily apartment rentals to 5 thousand rubles.
“I sometimes talk to the military, they are offended that they pay so much to swim, wash and sleep,” Aleinikova emphasized. “Otherwise, they sleep in cars, curled up on the steering wheel.”
Recently, landlords have begun to refuse long-term rental housing, since daily rentals are more profitable and demand is high. This “dynamic pricing” outrages not only the military, but also civilians, who demand that the Dzhankoy authorities provide recreational facilities for military personnel with showers and laundry facilities. If necessary, they can be equipped in municipal abandoned buildings, repaired by volunteers and at the expense of philanthropists.
