“A lump sum payment for Victory Day will amount to 10 thousand rubles,” RIA Novosti reports the message from the Secretariat to Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova.
It is noted that the participants of the Great Patriotic War monthly in 2019 will receive an average of 44 thousand rubles.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that one-time financial assistance to veterans should be provided every year, and not just for the Victory Day jubilees.
