The Russian capital Moscow wants to reward reservists with special payments. In addition to the salary, there should be 50,000 rubles (equivalent to 830 euros) per person per month. In addition, bonuses are planned for injuries, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said.
With a serious injury, there should be an extra million rubles (equivalent to 17,064.52), and half with a minor injury. If a soldier dies, the family will receive three million rubles (almost 50,000 euros), Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said Thursday.

The regions are responsible for mobilization and can also create financial incentives for this. In addition to Moscow, the Kursk Oblast and the Udmurt Republic have already promised monetary allowances, Tass Agency reported. However, the regions in Russia have less money at their disposal than the wealthy capital.
As reported, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on Wednesday that he plans to call up 300,000 reservists. This is intended to replenish the army after the losses in the war against Ukraine.
