Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine can freeze their sperm for free: Report

Hindustan Times  

Russian troops who have been part of a mobilisation drive for military operations in Ukraine can get their sperm frozen for free in cryobanks, Reuters reported quoting the state TASS agency. Citing Igor Trunov, president of the Russian Union of Lawyers, TASS said in its report that the Russian health ministry responded to his appeal for budgetary assistance with the plan. The ministry "determined the possibility of financial support from the federal budget for free conservation and storage of germ cells for citizens mobilized to participate in the special military operation for 2022-2024", Igor Trunov said. In the mobilisation drive in September, following Russian president Vladimir Putin, Moscow called up more than 300,000 reservists to support what it calls its "special military operation" in Ukraine.
