Russia has offered large signature bonuses and high salaries to its army every month to attract tens of thousands of people, and President Vladimir Putin has tried to avoid an increase in public anxiety when he ordered a partial draft for several months.
Increasing payments to the soldiers would contribute to the strains on Ukraine’s state budget, which exceeded 20% of the gross domestic product among major military expenditures last year.
