The regulation affects “those who work in the (four) areas,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Friday, referring to the four Ukrainian areas of Donetsk, Luhansk, Cherson and Zaporizhia claimed by Russia as annexed. He referred to an exception in an anti-corruption law.
This was published by the government in Moscow on Thursday. According to President Vladimir Putin’s decree, soldiers, police officers, members of the security services and other government officials serving in the four Ukrainian regions no longer have to provide information on “their income, expenses and assets”.
The decree also gives them the right to receive “rewards and gifts” if they are “humanitarian in nature” and received as part of the military operation in Ukraine. The measure also applies to “spouse and minor children”, retrospectively from February 24 – the beginning of the offensive in Ukraine.
More and more incentives to go to the war of conquest
The new rule is part of the incentives the Kremlin wants to use to get Russians to go to Ukraine to fight: promises of big bonuses, perks on banking and real estate transactions, and financial support for families in the event of death or injury a relative.
In Russia, members of the army and civil servants are regularly convicted in corruption cases involving the embezzlement of large sums of money.
