Russian soldiers are promised cash bonuses for every kilometer of advance on Ukrainian soil

To motivate the personnel to advance, Russian units are told propaganda about daily allowances for participation in assault operations. 

Also, an additional payment was announced for each soldier per kilometer of advance on Ukrainian soil.

One of the Russian units in the Luhansk region has been obliged to carry a shell casing with a piece of paper with soldier’s information in their chest pocket

On this piece of paper, each Russian occupier must write down information about himself, his personal number, etc.
