... amid a push to replenish high troop losses, some regions in Russia are using up to half their social welfare budgets for signing on bonuses to attract more recruits.

These payments are being drawn from funds which in peacetime mostly supported orphans, large families, people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups.

So, this means that in wartime orphans, large families, people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups just have to be a little patient and wait until the war is over?

The people with disabilities will have to. I'm sure Putin has no qualms with taking the rest of them in to use as cannon fodder in exchange for a fraction of what they used to get from welfare.

They’ll mount machine guns on the front of their wheelchairs. The orphans can push the disabled soldiers into battle!
