***The Telegraph reports:***
Russian soldiers from Moscow will now earn almost £50,000 for their first year of service, the city has announced, about four times the average annual wage.
The hiked payment – which includes sign-up bonuses, monthly wages and regional handouts – is part of the Kremlin’s drive to find the 25,000 men a month [it needs to sustain its front-line force in Ukraine](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/russia-ukraine-war/).
“The total amount of payments to a contract serviceman (taking into account monthly salary and Moscow and federal support measures) will exceed 5.2 million rubles [£46,147] for the first year of service,” Moscow’s city administration said in an announcement on Tuesday.
The generous scheme includes a one-time payment of 1.9 million rubles (£16,863) that is only available to residents of the Russian capital.

Hope they thought to demand money up front.
sure they will
$400 and die…. Sounds like a good deal to me
Around 8% of Russia’s *entire federal budget* is now being spent on [soldiers’ salaries and injury/death benefits](https://www.newsweek.com/russia-gdp-soldier-payouts-ukraine-war-1926432).
And the more soldiers they lose (dead or injured) the higher this number goes. In the case of the injured, it has to be paid long term.
Your life is worth 50k, take it or leave it!
And a sack of potatoes should you go missing in action, not killed, just missing.
*Plot twist* – they’ll never live to collect
I’m confused, there was an article earlier today saying it was $22,000 which is a lot less than this is claiming
Promise is not the same as actual payment.
£50,000 per year prorated to however many days you last?
that means that they promise this money, whether you get it is a completely different story.
Promises promises….. putin had over 20 years to practice making those lol
50k will get paid up front to actual blood born russian and trained private military contracts because they are few and far between. Prince Obungo and Fuckdeep Kaur, who get used testing g mine fields and seeing where the bullets come from get a hot load of dick upfront.
How costly has a 3 day war been for Putin.
What’s the Russian MOS for Cannon Fodder?
Putler will do anything to avoid a full mobilization. Putler knows that if he fully mobilizes and conscripts ethnic Russians (especially in Moscow and St. Petersburg) he will begin to politicize them. And while he can co-opt some of them as they “wake up” politically, he cannot do this with all of them and that means full mobilization is too politically risky at this time.
While all Russians are responsible for this disgusting war on Ukraine, they will NOT fight back against Putler until his inner circle begins to collapse and is SEEN to be collapsing. I would say roughly 1/4 of Russians want to get involved in changing things but they also don’t want to risk their lives fruitlessly.
Putler’s inner circle is very unlikely to rise up against him. He has co-opted them into his war and smothered them in the blood of Ukrainians. To the point that they are just as guilty as he is and therefore, are unwilling to break away.
The ones already in Ukraine e should now go pack so they can get 50k and recruited again.
It isn’t surprising at all that the Russian state is making such high offers for recruits. Dead soldiers don’t get paid so it will cost them very little. Unless they change their strategy and stop sending waves of untrained people to their deaths, any amount is going to be far too little to make a difference.
>The increased payments will only be available for new recruits who pass selection after July 23.
The Russian military equivalent of broadband offers only available to new customers lol
I just read $22k
They and their families are doubtful to see any money and they will probably just die.
After they’re done… don’t have to pay them if they die.
Money is not useful if you’re dead
Pay them £1m. The dead wont see it
Probably 10 years salary in that shit hole. Surely it’s paid upon their safe return, right?
Never going to happen
You won’t get to spend it though will you?
Isn’t that a small amount of money for your life?
If you live
You can’t spend €50,000 in hell.
lemme guess. They’ll only get the money once they return home…
“Kremlin pinky promises to pay soldiers £50k in latest Ukraine invasion recruitment con”
Fixed it.
lol, I was offered a $25k reenlistment bonus to remain being a cook in the Marines and turned it down. 50k seems super low considering Russia has lost more troops in 1.5 years then we lost since 1980.
Its was $22,000 this morning
Let me guess – that’s “total”, not “each”.
Pay upfront, with cash to the family?
Russia should lay off. This war has no benefit now. Don’t break the bank, don’t kill a generation of young guys. You have more land than anybody else. Sparsely populated land. Kindly get the fuck out of Ukraine.
That means they ran out of a lot of their available manpower in their ethnic minorities.
The White Russians are next.
50k total compensation for their first year.
As in, they have to survive a full year to actually get 50k.
*footnote: no live, no pay…. Now go straight to meatwave!!!! Mwaaa ah ah!
Probably.
zero chance any of them will ever see half of this
For those who don’t know: this summer number of people signed contracts for military service dipped under 1k/day for the first time during the conflict, that’s like, REALLY bad news for their war effort. Aside from 1k+ everyday loses ONLY confirmed, they need much more people to not only expand, but to maintain current push rate.
Promise anything to the soon to be dead, and don’t pay the family. Brilliant /s
This is not what they’ll be paying, this is what they’re saying they’ll be paying.
Wonder how all the families of Russians killed without that kind of pay feel about this?
you cant complain when you are dead
Payable on death
