The State Duma allowed 'defenders of the borderlands' to enter universities without exams and granted them 'credit holidays'. The State Duma extended military support measures to participants in the special military operation (SVO) in Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions, reports TASS.
Consensus
- The State Duma passed a law extending social support measures to participants of the counter-terrorism operation (KTO) in Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions.
- Participants of the KTO in these border regions are now eligible for credit holidays.
- Participants of the KTO and their families can receive free legal aid.
- The law allows participants to enter universities on a special quota without entrance exams.
- The law aims to align the status of KTO participants with that of participants in the special military operation (SVO).
- The law was passed during second and third readings.
Points of divergence
- The State Duma also adopted laws banning foreigners with criminal records from residing in Russia, increasing the list of grounds for expulsion of foreigners (including participation in unauthorized rallies and discrediting the army), requiring notification via Gosuslugi about signing a credit agreement within 15 minutes, introducing an import buffer on diesel fuel, and extending the garage amnesty until September 2031. — tg_tvrain
