In addition to the financial assistance, new contract soldiers are guaranteed all republican and federal benefits, support and recovery measures. Enterprises whose employees sign a contract keep their place of work and pay them a salary, provide them with everything they need. Local authorities take custody of the fighters’ families.
1.5 million rubles can be obtained by signing a contract with the Ministry of Defence in Tatarstan until 31 July 2024. This can be done in any city or region of the republic.
