Putin Signs Decree Canceling Debts for New Ukraine War Recruits

Putin’s decree cancels debts of up to 10 million roubles for new recruits and, in some cases, their spouses.

  • On May 25, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree canceling debts up to 10 million roubles for new Ukraine war recruits and their families who signed contracts from May 1 onward.
  • Amid stalled U.S.-led peace talks, the Kremlin introduced the debt forgiveness to enhance military capacity in a more than four-year-long war, adding to existing support measures for recruits.
  • Putin also approved indefinite extension of rental rights for state land for those engaged in the conflict, while the debt relief approximates the value of a 35-square-meter Moscow apartment.
  • Recruits signing contracts must commit to a minimum one-year service, gaining access to debt relief alongside higher education preferences and substantial payouts as broader recruitment incentives.
  • As Ukraine plans reinforcements to northern regions amid escalation concerns, the Kremlin's expanded recruitment incentives reflect efforts to sustain military capacity while U.S.-led peace negotiations remain stalled.
