☆ Russian troops to get bonuses for destroying Western tanks
  + stars: | 2023-06-16 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
June 16 (Reuters) - Russian troops who have destroyed German-made Leopard tanks and U.S.-supplied armoured vehicles being used by Ukraine will receive bonus payments, the Defence Ministry said on Friday. The ministry said this was part of a wider reward scheme under which more than 10,000 Russian servicemen had received individual bonuses since the start of the war nearly 16 months ago. Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu on Sunday awarded the "Hero of Russia gold star" medal to soldiers who Moscow said had destroyed Leopard tanks and U.S.-made Bradley fighting vehicles being used by Ukraine, which has launched a long-anticipated counteroffensive. The ministry said that up to May 31, a total of 10,257 servicemen had been rewarded for destroying 16,001 items of Ukrainian and Western military equipment. An enemy armoured vehicle was worth 50,000 roubles ($596) and a tank 100,000 roubles, it said.

☆ Putin praises Wagner mercenaries for Bakhmut claims of victory, his first time directly crediting the for-hire army for their military efforts

Putin praised the Wagner group for what he called the "liberation" of the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. His comment was the first time he has directly credited the mercenary army for their military wins. Ukraine maintains it is still in control of a small part of Bakhmut, despite Russian claims of victory. As Russia claimed it has overtaken the besieged eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, Putin finally praised the Wagner troops controlled by his long-time ally Yevgeny Prigozhin for their role in invading the city. Representatives for the Government of the Russian Federation did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
