Telegram users criticized the amount of compensation paid to the family of a Volgograd resident killed in a drone attack.

The million rubles promised by authorities to the family of a man killed in Volgograd is insufficient. Authorities should be held accountable for the results of air defense operations near residential areas, Telegram users stated.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," a man died during a drone attack in Volgograd on the night of November 6 from falling glass. Residential buildings in various parts of the city were damaged, the Volgograd Region Governor reported. Authorities promised the family of the deceased 1 million rubles in financial assistance. Social media users doubted that the attack targeted a residential building and called for the drones to be shot down as they approached the city.

Readers of Volgograd Telegram channels spent the entire day of November 6th actively discussing the consequences of the drone attack and the government's statements on the matter. In particular, they commented on Governor Bocharov's announcement that one million rubles would be allocated to the family of the deceased Volgograd resident.

The payment amount is clearly insufficient and seems like a mockery, according to readers of the "Volgograd and Region News" channel. "Yes, it's a large sum; it's clear the regional administration has no conscience. I feel very sorry for the man, and my condolences to his family. But what is a million for? For a funeral," said Evgenia. "You can't even restore an apartment there for that kind of money, and I won't even mention the loss of a person," wrote a user with a nickname depicting a flower.

"A civilian died because of the country's leaky air defenses, and they allocated a million rubles that no one needed?" fumed a user with a nickname depicting a period and a comma. "In Moscow, they would have allocated 2-3, even though we're only one country," believes Alexander Petrovich.

"A mockery of the family of the deceased breadwinner. A disgrace," believes Marusja Marusja. "As the saying goes, at least a black sheep gets a tuft of wool," commented Sergey Vdovenko on the news of the payment amount. "Are they really going to give the money or just promises?" Leonid questioned.

Some users also noted that shutting down mobile communications and the internet during drone strikes does nothing to mitigate the impact of the attacks, even though the authorities called this measure necessary to protect against drones.

"It's strange, mobile internet is shut down, but the number of drones hasn't decreased, but on the contrary, has increased. How so?" V is perplexed. "So shutting down the internet doesn't help? A rhetorical question," Kristina wrote. "Why is there air defense in the city? Of course it will crash and kill people," Sergey AC/DC reasons.

“It would be better if Bocharov explained why the air defense forces again allowed a drone to get so dangerously close to a residential area of the city,” wrote a user of the Telegram channel “Dozor v Volgograd.” “The real target is oil refineries or factories, and they should be shot down in the region, not within the city limits,” commented Danil.
