Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law extending lease agreements and gratuitous use of land for participants in a special military operation (SVO) for an indefinite period. This was announced on May 25 on the website of the presidential press service.

"It is envisaged that a participant in a special military operation has the right to conclude a new lease agreement for a land plot in state or municipal ownership, or a new contract for the gratuitous use of such a land plot, if the lease agreement or the contract for the gratuitous use of such a land plot is renewed indefinitely," the message says.

It is noted that the condition for this is compliance with the provisions of the previously concluded and renewed agreement.
