Volunteers in battlefield zones receive significant directive from Putin
In a significant move, President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree on August 5, 2025, that expands the geographic scope of Russian state support for volunteers[1]. This decree now extends support from the Donbas and Novorossiya regions to cover all border areas around Russia[1].
The decree implies a continuation or enhancement of the existing logistical, financial, or legal backing by the Russian state for volunteers operating in these expanded regions. However, it does not specify any changes in the nature of support beyond this geographic enlargement[1][4].
Rosmolodezh, the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs, has been instructed to work together with the association "Dobro.ru" to develop volunteering in these regions[1]. This move aims to strengthen public activity and coordinate volunteer projects in territories located near the zone of the special military operation[1].
The decree also mandates that the Russian government bring its regulatory acts into line with the new presidential decree within three months[1].
