“For two years, this is about 400 billion rubles, most of which - about 270 billion rubles - this year, and about 130 billion rubles - next year,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

In particular, about 170 billion rubles will be required for payments to schoolchildren by the beginning of the school year.

“This does not carry inflationary risks, all this will be done within the funds available in the budget, without any additional tools for raising funds in the market,” Siluanov said.

According to him, the funds for the implementation of all the proposed initiatives have been calculated and are available.

In the course of his message to the Federal Address, Putin proposed to pay families with schoolchildren and future first graders 10 thousand rubles per child at a time.

In addition, the head of state urged to legislate the payment of sick leave for caring for a child up to seven years in full, regardless of the length of service.
