Russian military personnel who are not officially participating in the SVO, but reflecting the attacks of various Ukrainian sabotage groups on the territory of the border regions of Russia, will be equated with participants in a special military operation. The corresponding bill was prepared by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The Russian military serving in the border areas, participating in repelling attacks from the Ukrainian armed formations, will be equated to the members of the SVO with the receipt of appropriate salaries and benefits. The bill proposed by the military is already undergoing the necessary approvals and should be adopted in the near future.
According to RIA News, in June of this year, the head of the Just Russia - For Truth faction, Sergei Mironov, sent a letter to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu asking him to consider the issue of providing appropriate benefits to servicemen who repel attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Russian territory, but are not officially participating in the SVO. Previously, this issue was repeatedly raised by military correspondents who worked in the Belgorod region and other border regions.
Military personnel performing tasks to repel an armed incursion into the territory of the Russian Federation in areas adjacent to the territories where a special military operation is being carried out are not currently established by the legislation of the Russian Federation with the status of a combat veteran and the corresponding social guarantees. In order to resolve this problem, the Ministry of Defense of Russia has prepared a draft federal law "On the introduction of notices to the Federal Law "On Veterans"
- the letter says.
Sergei Mironov confirmed that he had received a response from the Russian Ministry of Defense, the bill proposed by the military has already been posted on the government's official website.
