Moscow. August 24. INTERFAX-Russian President Vladimir Putin said that all military personnel, regardless of their positions and ranks, will receive a one-time payment of 15 thousand rubles, and proposed to extend this payment to military cadets and law enforcement officers.
"At a meeting with the leaders of the party, I spoke about a one-time payment to military personnel. I said then that it should be an average of 15 thousand rubles. But I would like to add - I think that in this case it is not necessary to apply this rule "on average", because it would mean that those servicemen who have more money allowance, they would receive more, and those who have less, would receive less, " Putin said on Tuesday at the plenary session of the United Russia congress.
According to Putin, " today we need to support first of all those who have small incomes, so I am sure that senior officers and military leaders will understand me."
"After all, a military organization is like a family. It is not for nothing that we have kept the address "comrade"in the army. Let everyone receive this payment in the same amount, regardless of the number of stars on the shoulder straps. In this case, everyone should be equal, sorry, like in a bathhouse, " Putin said.
