“I signed a decree that exempts volunteers of the National Guard of the Russian Federation participating in the SVO from paying penalties for late utility bills,” said Igor Kobzev, governor of the Irkutsk region.

He explained that the benefit will be valid for the entire period of the concluded contract and also applies to family members of the fighter.

Russian President Vladimir Putin previously instructed the government to create a section on the government services portal about support measures and benefits for special operation fighters.

Prior to this, Putin instructed to extend the Far Eastern mortgage to the participants of the North Eastern Military District.
