A new way for soldiers in Russia. Free sperm banks
Russians being sent as part of partial mobilization for war in Ukraine can freeze their sperm for free. This idea was conceived by the Russian Ministry of Health as an incentive to participate in the war in Ukraine.

Vladimir Putin has significant problems with his army. In October, news circulated about the death of conscripts on a Russian training range. On the territory of the unit in the town of Soloti in the Belgorod region, right on the border with Ukraine, there was a bloody shooting. The men were killed by bullets even before setting off for the front.
In connection with Putin's announcement of mobilization, more Russians have fled from Russia than have arrived at the units.
In December, we described one of the Russian government's advertisements, in which an elderly man wanted to sell his Lada car to save his home budget. When everything was already buttoned up, suddenly the grandson came to help, who admitted that there was no need to sell the car anymore, since he had signed a contract with the army.
The latest idea is that Russian soldiers participating in the war in Ukraine will be able to store sperm in sperm banks for free.
The Russian Ministry of Health has decided that the free storage of reproductive cells of citizens mobilized to participate in a special military operation will be financed from the state budget - said the head of the Russian Bar Association, Igor Trunov, to the Russian state news agency Tass.
As emphasized by CNN, the state budget will finance the "conservation and storage of sex cells (sperms) for citizens mobilized for Special Military Operations in the years 2022-2024". Families can also freely use the stored biomaterials, if their mandatory health insurance allows it.
How many Russians died during the war?
Let's remember that the Russian Ministry of Defense claims that so far about 8,000 Russian soldiers have died in Ukraine. Ukrainian side evaluates this issue completely differently, according to which over 100,000 of Putin's army soldiers have already died during the war.
