Russia offers debt relief to new military recruits as Ukraine finds wreckage of new missile
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law offering debt forgiveness to new army recruits who enlist to fight in Ukraine. The law allows recruits to write off debts up to 10 million rubles ($96,000) if they sign a one-year contract. This initiative aims to boost military recruitment without a new mobilization order, following a previous mobilization that led to many men fleeing Russia. The military has increased financial incentives for recruits amid ongoing conflict and resource strain. In related developments, Ukraine reported the wreckage of a new Russian missile, the Oreshnik, which was fired at Dnipro. This marks the first discovery of such missile remains in Ukraine, highlighting the ongoing military exchanges between the two countries.
