Residents of the Shebekino district, in Russia’s Belgorod, region have been complaining on local social media channels that local authorities have charged them 3,000 rubles (around $37) per child to evacuate children from cities on the border with Ukraine.
It’s doubly pathetic that Russian officials are charging for this, and that the amount they’re charging translates into such a small dollar equivalent.

Median wage for Belgorod citizen is something like $300-500, so it’s not that small as it looks.
