INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday signed a decree revising compensation for soldiers injured in combat, basing payouts on the severity
of their injuries rather than providing a flat payment.Under the new rules, soldiers with severe injuries will receive 3 million rubles
($30,400), while those with minor injuries will receive 1 million rubles ($10,100)
initial promise of a flat 3 million ruble payment for all wounded soldiers, made shortly after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in early
2022.Families of soldiers killed in combat are still eligible for 5 million rubles.Reports surfaced earlier this month that Russian
authorities were considering a revised payment structure for war-related injuries
have previously reported bureaucratic delays in receiving compensation.
