Participants in the special military operation from Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug–Yugra had loan debts totaling half a billion rubles written off.

      Since the beginning of the current year, bailiffs of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug–Yugra have written off debts totaling more than 0.5 billion rubles for participants in the special military operation, the press service of the regional office of the Federal Bailiff Service of Russia said.

      As part of changes to existing legislation, 1,475 participants in the special military operation were relieved of credit debts totaling 513 million rubles, Kommersant‑Ural writes.

      In addition, 894 enforcement proceedings totaling 80 million rubles were terminated in relation to 246 wives of participants in the special military operation.

      It should be noted that earlier in Khanty‑Mansi Autonomous Okrug–Yugra the authorities increased the lump‑sum payment upon signing a contract for military service by almost 1 million rubles. The total amount of the payments will be 4.1 million rubles, the government of Khanty‑Mansi Autonomous Okrug–Yugra reported. This is the largest amount among all regions of Russia, Kommersant‑Ural notes.

      In the Tyumen region, payments were temporarily raised to 3.4 million rubles (previously the payment amount was 1.9 million rubles). The regional payment will be 3 million rubles, the federal one 400,000 rubles. Citizens who signed a contract between October 7 and November 30 inclusive will receive the increased payment.

      At the beginning of 2023, the Bank of Russia reported that loan holidays totaling 63.6 billion rubles had been arranged for participants in the special military operation. They were granted to 168,000 people — servicemen and their relatives.
