Russian prosecutors say four soldiers have been charged with stealing the credit cards of a passenger killed when the Polish president's plane crashed in Russia in April.
About 6,000 Polish zloty (£2,000) was withdrawn on the cards, according to Polish investigators.
Russia initially denied both the theft and arrests had taken place.
Russia's defence ministry now says it will pay compensation if the suspects' guilt is confirmed.
The Russian prosecutor's investigations office said four Russian soldiers had been charged with "theft carried out by a group with premeditation", according to state media.
Three of the four soldiers had previous criminal convictions, including robbery and counterfeiting, the prosecutor's office said.
