First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council, Secretary of the General Council of United Russia Andrey Turchak spoke about a clear aim behind recent efforts: to set a single standard for providing help to participants in a special military operation (SVO) and to support their families. He emphasized that all current developments, in one way or another, can be integrated into a unified framework that would guide the assistance offered to those who served, as well as the people closest to them. The working group focused on NWO issues has begun outlining a concrete vision of what this standard could encompass, and Turchak underscored that this is a serious move toward consistency in policy and practice across related institutions and programs.
In parallel, Sergei Mironov, who previously led the Just Russia – For Truth party, remarked that the government has signaled its readiness to back the draft law that would enable combined payments to participants in a special military operation, irrespective of their official status. This perspective aligns with a broader intent to simplify and standardize monetary support, making it easier for service members and their families to navigate the system without regard to shifting classifications or procedural hurdles. The discussion signals a push to ensure that financial assistance is predictable, timely, and accessible to all affected individuals, reflecting a broader commitment to welfare within the context of ongoing security operations.
The parliamentary coordination group on NWO issues was established in December of the previous year by order of the head of state, inviting input from multiple pillars of government and society. The group brings together members from both chambers of the federal parliament, the Ministry of Defense, and a spectrum of leaders from public organizations, plus veterans and war correspondents. The composition of the group reflects a deliberate effort to balance legislative oversight with on-the-ground insights, ensuring that any proposed standards for aid are informed by real-world experience, practical needs, and the broader public interest. As discussions progress, the aim is to harmonize policy with existing social programs, streamline processes, and create a robust framework that can adapt to evolving circumstances while staying grounded in the realities faced by SVO participants and their families.
