On January 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the government to index military pensions by 8.6% from January 1, 2022. He stated this at a meeting of the Security Council.
The head of state recalled that since the beginning of the year, civil pensions will increase by this amount, while military payments were planned to be raised by only 4% from October 1.
“I propose to index the pensions of military pensioners and persons equated to them as early as January 1 of this year, and not by 4%, as envisaged, but at a higher rate – by 8.6%, as for all other pensioners,” Putin said. .
The President instructed to implement this decision “in the very near future”, including the need to “recalculate the already paid pensions for January, so that citizens receive the due funds along with the next pension.”
According to Putin, this will affect over 2.6 million people.
The day before, the State Duma unanimously adopted in the third, final reading an amendment on the indexation of pensions by 8.6%.
