Russian men mobilized to fight in Ukraine will be able to freeze and store their sperm for free, according to the president of the Union of Lawyers of Russia. Igor Trunov said that in addition to a free sperm bank for mobilized people he also asked for changes to Russia's medical insurance to grant a free quota of infertility treatments to families of mobilized people who participate in what Russia calls its "special military operation" in Ukraine. Trunov said that the Health Ministry responded by saying it had determined the possibility of financing the requests. The ministry has not commented publicly.
