In Russia, the number of volunteers for military service is decreasing, despite the increase in contract payments.

In Russia, the number of volunteers coming to military registration and enlistment offices is decreasing, despite the fact that the average payments for signing a contract are constantly increasing. The head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council, Andriy Kovalenko, said this during a telethon on Friday, UNN reports.

They (Russia - ed.) have seen a decrease in the number of volunteers coming to military enlistment offices, despite the increase in average payments. They are constantly forced to increase the priority payments for signing a contract. Accordingly, they are gradually running out of monetary incentives. The incentive of, so to speak, great hatred and the so-called domestic war is irrelevant, because on the one hand, their propaganda does everything to prevent an ordinary resident of Moscow and St. Petersburg from thinking about what is happening in the Kursk region. This story is aimed mainly at the regions of Russia's borderlands, and then they start to spread such stories globally, to Asia

- Kovalenko said.

Recall

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that in order to drive the occupier out of our land, it is necessary to create as many problems as possible for the Russian state on its territory. Defense operations at the front, the operation in the Kursk region, daily strikes on Russian military targets are a systematic way to protect Ukraine, a way to end this war on the terms of an independent Ukraine.
