Putin offered to pay off the debt to use as a recruiting tool for the war with Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be taking a page out of President Biden’s book. and offered to write off debt for new conscripts who sign up to join the country’s armed forces for one year.

in November Putin signed a law that allows anyone who joins the Russian military after December 1, from October 1, 2024, to have their debt written off up to 10 million rubles, or about $96,000.

The Associated Press reports that the law applies to debts for which a court order has been issued for collection. and Enforcement proceedings commenced before December 1, Oct. 1, 2024. This law also applies to spouses of new recruits.

The move appears to be similar to a move from Biden’s playbook, although the latter does not link the loan distribution to the military draft.
