Significant salary delays are also being reported on social media by employees of the so-called "Mine Restructuring Administration", the "Republican Media Holding", and other budget-funded organizations and enterprises.
Former Ukrainian journalist Ihor Faramazian, now an active propagandist for the "DNR", writes that he is very eager to know "the names, surnames, and positions of those responsible for journalists in the republic not being paid for two months".
Another "Donetsk correspondent", Yuliia Andrienko, writes that since the beginning of the year—or even since December 2024—employees of 42 enterprises in the "DNR" have been left without salaries, despite these enterprises being supposed to receive "state" subsidies according to the "republic's budget".
Social media reports indicate that russia's Ministry of Finance is rejecting documents for funding the "subsidized" entities.
