He stressed that the mobilized serve under a contract, and after its termination they have the right to return home or continue the contract for the next stage of their stay in the SVO zone.

As Tutrin noted, according to the contract, social security for military personnel, additional monthly payments, salaries are provided, and their children have the right to priority in the queue for kindergartens. The Major General added that there are many social guarantees that are prescribed in the presidential decree. In the event that the special operation ends earlier than the contract, it is interrupted at the end of the combat mission, Tutrin said.

The interlocutor of the publication noted that the military personnel involved in the zone of the SVO will replace each other to recuperate, since there is a practice of rotation. At the same time, according to Tutrin, the rotation is not only of officers, but also of entire units, which are replaced for a period of three months to six months.

Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov did not find a reason to comment in the news about the construction by the Polish authorities of a “fence” on the border with the Kaliningrad region, a Russian enclave region.

When asked how he would comment on this fact, Peskov replied: “No way, it’s up to the Poles, the Poles to ask them to comment.”

Journalist Brendan Cole, in a publication for Newsweek, said that the West considered that it had won a “great victory over Russia at the UN,” but this turned out to be a mistake. According to him, the March vote in the UN General Assembly condemning Russia’s actions in Ukraine could have been presented by Western diplomats as a “great victory”, but the formalized vote actually masked a failure in terms of explaining the position of the West.

As the author of the article noted, there is a widespread position in the Global South that Russia was forced to launch a special operation. Cole stressed that there is a deep resentment against the West for its colonial past, which overcomes any suspicions directed against the Russian side.

The journalist believes that the United States and its Western allies have been looking for a way to exclude Russia from the G20 for a long time, but it turned out to be virtually impossible to do so, since a number of countries, including India, Brazil, South Africa, China and Indonesia, are not ready to support such a step. Cole concluded that the global world order is turning away from the US and EU countries, and the condemnation of Russia has not received a wide response outside these states.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said after talks with Estonian Prime Minister Kaya Kallas, which took place in Tallinn, that he did not regret the imposition of sanctions against Russia, despite the fact that they hit the Greek tourism industry with a boomerang.

“To Greece… the fact that we joined the European Union in all sanctions packages really had an impact,” the prime minister said.

He admitted that in the summer of 2022, tourists from Russia did not come to Greece because “almost all Russians went to Turkey,” while in previous years the tourist flow was up to 800 vacationers.

“We paid the price by faithfully implementing the sanctions package. I am convinced that we did the right thing,” Mitsotakis summed up.
