And most will be dead before they can spend it.
And this is from.... Ukraine Pravda?
Gotcha...
Not if the missing payment leaves the family in want. It’s spring time in most places in the US, but in a lot of places in Russia, it’s deadly cold right now. Imagine having your heat shut off and no food in a Siberian winter. They are not conscripting from Moscow and Petrograd, but from the rural ethnics. Imagine marching to the slaughter for a government that is starving your wife and kids and letting them freeze, a government that doesn’t speak your native language and treats you badly even in peacetime.
This is how you get mutiny, apathy and purposeful neglect from the bottom up. Putin will find that out soon.
I don’t know if the same ‘non payment’ is going on in Ukraine or not.
Does a package of ground beef in the grocery store meat section receive a salary? Because that’s all these mobiks are to putin, packets of meat.
While they were fighting in A’stan, I rmember reading the same kinds of stories about soldiers going without pay.
Months passed and troops had not received pay.
