“Our citizens are actively signing contracts with the Ministry of Defense... Initially, they undergo training courses and are thoroughly prepared, so there is currently no need to discuss mobilization,” said a Kremlin representative to “RIA Novosti.”
Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev stated that signing a contract is the only way to involve Russians in the military operation in Ukraine. In July, President Vladimir Putin signed a decree to provide 400,000 rubles for contracts with the Ministry of Defense. The Kremlin mentioned that the increase in payments aims to support the military.
