In a highly publicized visit to a training ground in Tver oblast, Moscow Region governor Andrei Vorobyov promised mobilized Russian men regional social support as a show of thanks for their service.

Vorobyov said that, in addition to financial stipends, the men's families will receive priority treatment in educational institutions and hospitals, and family members will be assisted in finding a job.

Also on his visit, Vorobyov chatted with citizen-soldiers about the conditions at their barracks, their food, and their supplies. He himself handed out packs and medical supplies.

The visit comes as news from the front lines grows grimmer every day.
