Russian government allocates 10 billion rubles for social supplements to pensioners and disabled individuals in St. Petersburg and other regions

Russia allocated 10 billion rubles for social supplements to pensioners and disabled individuals in several regions, including St. Petersburg. This additional funding from the government's reserve fund will support over 1.2 million non-working pensioners whose incomes are below the regional living wage. The funds are needed due to pension indexation, increased living costs, and a rise in supplement recipients across 19 regions.
