Russian regions are slashing payments to the families of liquidated occupiers due to budget deficits
Due to budget deficits, russia has begun massively reducing or completely canceling monetary compensation for the death of military personnel in the war against Ukraine. Even russian propagandists are now openly speaking about financial problems and ineffective spending planning. This is reported by the portal PromPolitInform, citing the Telegram channel of Crimean Wind.
A critical shortage of funds in the russian state treasury has led to significant delays and cuts in social guarantees for the families of russian army servicemen. Propagandist Anastasia Kashevarova admitted that the current financial model is untenable and that risk planning was carried out with gross errors, leading to the exhaustion of resources.
Geography of social payment cuts
Large-scale changes in funding have affected many federal subjects. In particular, in the Ulyanovsk, Omsk, Kirov, and Irkutsk regions, payments were reduced from 1 million to 500 thousand rubles, while in the Kemerovo and Belgorod regions, the amount was cut from 3 million to 1 million rubles.
In the Saratov region, compensation was reduced to 100 thousand rubles starting November 1. Even more revealing is the situation in Bashkortostan, where payments were gradually slashed from 2 million to 100 thousand rubles, and in the Smolensk region, the amount was reduced from 1 million to 700 thousand rubles.
Total denial of compensation
In addition to significant reductions in financial aid, a number of regions have reported cases of complete suspension of payments. Such measures have already been implemented in the Samara and Orenburg regions, as well as in the Republic of Khakassia.
Analysts link these actions by local and central authorities to the need to balance a budget that is increasingly being consumed by military needs. The lack of funds for so-called burial payments is evidence of deep-seated problems in the russian financial system that are beginning to manifest at the social level.
