MP told injured SVO members what to do who have not received payments

April 9, 2023

Russians who were injured during their participation in a special operation on the territory of Ukraine and who did not receive the due payments should immediately notify the representatives of the State Duma Committee on Defense or law enforcement agencies, said Alexei Zhuravlev, first deputy chairman of the Committee and leader of the Rodina party.

In a comment to RIA Novosti, Zhuravlev noted that there is no evidence that the injured and shocked are not massively receiving payments due to the relevant decisions of the medical commissions. He said that such statistics have already begun to be kept, and the cases where, due to bureaucracy, there were problems with payment, they are less than 1%.

At the same time, according to the deputy, such cases occur, including in his practice. Zhuravlev said action was taken for each episode and justice was ultimately served in each one.

“We will not allow government initiatives to be devalued and discredited in this way. Me and our defense committee will continue to defend the rights of every soldier,” he said.
