[KnightTemplar]

Lol pretty sure that's fake as mate

It's fake.

Everyone knows the going rate for a dead Russian soldier is one bottle of vodka and a sack of unpeeled potatoes

i bet that it wont even be top shelf vodka either. its probably some prison hooch that they confiscated in igor's cell one day or something and deemed unfit for human consumption.

Putin announces compensation figures for Russian soldiers who die in Ukraine | Marca
About $43,000 per dead Russian soldier. It still sucks.
Meanwhile here in the US, Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI) is insuring soldiers for up to $400,000.
This has gone up from $250,000 a few years ago.

well i dont know which side to take on this one. its hard to trust anything coming out of putin's mouth, and it would be unlikely that someone would be able to get ahold of one of the widows and have them put it out there. the next day she would probably end up either disappearing, falling out of an apartment window, or accidentally ingesting a whole bunch of poison.

That 43 000 euros . Is a one of payment. There still is monthly compensation as well. But you'd have to find out more from a Russian. There's vague details only.

Seems a payment of 7 million rubles was already there. Then a additional 5 million rubles for death in this " special operations " then monthly payments to family members.

I am curious tho

 

[idrankyourbeer]

its a shame though. it doesnt seem that they value the lives of the russian soldiers that much. they dont even seem to want the bodies back.

You'd be surprised. Just like the woman who protested on national TV. Was like 250$ fine. Same with priest for calling it a war. Little fine and a slap on the wrist.

I'd get a bigger bloody punishment here for protesting on a national broadcast lol

 

[San Marino]

That is 43,000 euros.

$43,000 dollars from my article.
$107,000 dollars from your article.
Big difference. Don't know. They are probably not being paid anything. Maybe a nice 'generic' letter from Putin.

i thought they were subject to up to 15 years imprisonment/forced labor or some shit. but i dont know where the hell i even stumbled upon that.

i still wouldnt take my chances and go around holding up a "No War!" sign, or a large picture of a tractor riding off with a russian tank. i'd probably get shipped off to siberia!

No. My article refers to it as there are two different payments. ( how iread it ) That's why I'm a bit confused .

And yeah could be pure bs regardless

I heard the same but got curious to as how a few of the better known cases were dealt with. Once again would need a Russian to get a realistic feel as to fear about protesting.

well our good friend @Dexter hasn't signed on for over a month, or we could ask him. i'm thinking maybe his good pal putin must have sent him to do a peacekeeping military training operation over in ukraine, and he didnt make it back home.

Ukrainians getting flanked

Compensation is probably going to be honoured upon the presentation of the body of your loved one at a government facility. Good luck with that, Russian mammy's.

 

[Ruprecht]

Why would they (Finland ) have a problem with him?
He is from Sundsvall and lives there.
He did his military in Finland because he IIRC had dual citizenship.

Well I said, "the likes of" because his online rhetoric followed by his fighting in the Ukraine for Azov mirrors a pattern for terrorism we've already seen. I knew he had dual citizenship, but wasn't sure where he resided.
Mind you I guess with the Schengen arrangement citizenship is less meaningful in terms of potential threats.

You said:

I'd be amazed if they had no problems with the likes of Carolus Löfroos, although is he still in Sweden?

When the poster spoke about Finland specific.

And FYI Sweden does not have a problem with him either.

 

[idrankyourbeer]

Poor bastards. Swedish vodka is better too

absolut is the only swedish vodka ive ever really drank. i think. i dont really drink much vodka anymore though. had more than enough of that shit in my teens and my twenties. dont really care to go back down that road.
