The Moscow Times reports that veterans of Russia's war in Ukraine are viewed by the Kremlin as a potential political threat, given their combat experience, grievances over pay and treatment, and growing visibility at home. According to the report, the authorities are responding by bringing veterans into official structures, offering benefits and roles intended to keep them loyal and integrated into the state.
