As a Kremlin spokesman told journalists, after the program in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Putin met with one of the employees of the regional department of the Russian Emergencies Ministry, who turned to the head of state with a personal request.
The man had previously applied to the military registration and enlistment office at his place of residence and asked to sign him up as a volunteer to participate in a special military operation, but he faced a situation where, according to the law, he could not be granted a long vacation and could not be guaranteed a return to the position that he held before participation in SVO.
“Vladimir Putin promised this employee to give instructions, to draw the attention of the government to a gap in Russian legislation, and also to point out that in the event of such cases, Russian legislation must be brought in line with the de facto situation,” RIA Novosti quotes Peskov.
The amendments should also provide job security such as the possibility of extended leave while maintaining the potential volunteer's current position, he added.
