Citing Igor Trunov, president of the Russian Union of Lawyers, TASS reported that the Health Ministry responded to his appeal for budgetary assistance with the plan.

塔斯社援引俄羅斯律師聯盟主席特魯諾夫（Igor Trunov）的話說，衛生部回應他的訴求，為這項計畫提供預算援助。

The ministry “determined the possibility of financial support from the federal budget for free conservation and storage of germ cells (spermatozoa) for citizens mobilized to participate in the special military operation for 2022-2024”, Trunov was quoted as saying.

報導引述特魯諾夫說法，衛生部「確定了從聯邦預算中提供財政支持的可能性，為動員參加2022到2024年特別軍事行動的公民免費保存和儲存生殖細胞（精子）。」
