Amid the Russia-Ukraine war and shortage of troops in the country, the Russian military is offering four times higher salaries to pull in new recruits for short-term contracts, according to The Moscow Times.
The report citing a local advertisement and data from a Russian financial portal said that in Tula, a city about 200 kilometers south of Moscow, the government is offering three-month military service contracts at an allowance starting from 170,000 rubles ($3,000) a month. This number is almost four times higher than the average salary in the region.
