MOSCOW, August 27. /TASS/: Russian President Vladimir Putin decreed to give people evacuating to Russia from the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republic as well as from Ukraine monthly and one-off payments.
Certain categories of people, including disabled persons and elders above the age of 80, will be given 10,000 ($166) in monthly payments. Pregnant women will be entitled to one-off payments in a similar amount.
Though the decree was signed by the president on August 27 and comes into effect on this date, payments will be backdated to July 1.
