Fur coats and meat mittens
At the beginning of February, the widows of those mobilized who fought in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic received twenty-one fur coats. They were allegedly handed over by businessman Oleksandr Boryak.
A video recording of women thanking donors for their care was published by associates of former Donetsk Defense Minister Ihor Girkin. However, one of the women later said that she and at least three other women had their fur coats taken immediately after the recording.
In Tuva, on the contrary, the family of a mobilized person who died at the front received a bag of pelmeni, i.e. dumplings with meat, a traditional Russian dish, the branch of the history of the National Museum of Tuva in the village of Aldan-Madyr, and later the record was deleted.
Special fund for assistance to veterans
Russian President Vladimir Putin, in his speech before the Federal Assembly, called to “surround Ukrainian war veterans with care and respect.”
He suggested creating a special fund to help veterans of the war in Ukraine and families of fallen soldiers.
The fund should provide socio-medical and psychological assistance, as well as sanatorium-resort treatment to servicemen and their families.
