russian banks and developers do not see the “heroes of the special military operation” as their clients. After the abolition of preferential mortgages in the rf in 2024, the availability of housing for participants in the war against Ukraine has sharply decreased. In case of dismissal from the contract, the serviceman loses the right to state support, which automatically transfers the loan to the category of problem loans. The contract is over – there is no income, and the mortgage is stuck. For the bank, the former “hero of the special military operation” is a debtor, for the market, he is ballast.
