Funding problems arise for Russian military - Defense Intelligence

The Russian military began to have problems with financing, the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported.

"After the promised payments to the military of the occupying army, the Russian military units had problems with financing. As it turned out, the payment of these expenses was not provided for in the budget. And due to the unsatisfactory state of the financial system of the Russian Federation due to the sanctions imposed, it is impossible to find additional funds in the budget," a Facebook message from the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense said on Friday.

According to the Defense Intelligence, in the temporarily occupied Crimea, after the payment of 'travel allowances' to those who participated in the war against Ukraine, the limit of funds for military units was completely exhausted in February. There is no funding for any payments for March.

"The situation is similar with the payment for the participation in the war of mercenaries of Russian 'private military campaigns'. Among them, cases of refusal to travel to the territory of Ukraine become more frequent. The reason is the failure to fulfill the terms of the contracts concluded. The militants do not receive funds for participating in hostilities, compensation for injuries and the promised 'social guarantees," the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported.
