Today, on 20 August, the Verkhovna Rada has approved payments for the military defending Ukraine in Russia (draft law 11483).
This was announced by MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak.
‘The Parliament adopted No. 11483 on the status of the military fighting in Russia. The total number of votes is 321. The law guarantees the military fighting in the Russian Federation, in particular in the Kursk Region, the same payments and preferences as on the front line,’ the MP wrote.
It should be noted that today MPs also removed criminal liability for the first case of SGBV under the condition of returning to service. However, a written consent from the commander is required.
