After the promised payments to the servicemen of the occupation army, the russian military units have had problems with funding. As it turns out, the payment of these costs is not provided in the budget. In view of poor state of russia’s financial system through imposed sanctions, it is impossible to find additional funding in the budget.

Particularly, in the temporarily occupied Crimea, after the payment of compensation for ‘mission’ to those who took part in hostilities against Ukraine, the available limit of funds for military units in February was completely exhausted. There is no funding for any payments for March.

The situation is similar with the payment for russian mercenaries of ‘private military campaign’ for the participation in hostilities. The cases of refusal to go in the territory of Ukraine become more frequent. The reason is non-fulfillment of the terms of the concluded contracts. The militants do not receive funds for participation in hostilities, compensation for wounds and the promised ‘social guarantees’.
