“I emphasize that the payment in the amount of 10 thousand will be made to all pensioners - both working and non-working, and military pensioners receiving pensions through the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other departments,” he said.
At the same time, Putin urged to organize the appropriate payment as quickly as possible.
On August 22, the Russian president offered to pay a one-time payment to all pensioners of the country in 2021 10 thousand rubles each.
He later signed a corresponding decree.
Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that the lump-sum payments to pensioners and military personnel, which were previously announced by President Vladimir Putin, would require about 500 billion rubles.
