Russia signs laws for veterans, families

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a series of new laws expanding social and economic benefits for military personnel, veterans, and their families. The legislation grants spouses of deceased participants of the Special Military Operation and Donbas militia members free university enrollment. Other new laws give mobilized citizens priority to keep their jobs during staff reductions and allow two relatives of a seriously injured Rosgvardia employee to travel for free to and from the place of treatment. These measures are part of a broader package of support for those involved in the conflict in Ukraine.
