More than 20,000 residents of the Lugansk People’s Republic will receive compensations before the end of this year for the loss of home or essential property, as part of the infrastructure rebuilding program for 2023-2030, said LPR Acting Head Leonid Pasechnik.

“Repairs on damaged homes, new housing construction and utilities infrastructure upgrade are essential in creating comfortable environment and raising the standard of living,” Pasechnik wrote on Telegram.

He said that he was monitoring the responses by the authorities to residents’ requests for property loss payments.

Under the infrastructure rebuilding program, construction companies will repair 1,800 apartment buildings, replace 2,200 elevators, improve 138 public areas and build more than five million square meters of new housing by 2030, the LPR leader said.

By 2025, the LPR will modernize its water supply, water disposal and heat supply networks, repair more than 700,000 meters of housing, restore infrastructure facilities and build new ones, he said.

Earlier, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin said that the LPR would receive nine billion rubles to fund 15 projects to modernize its housing and utilities infrastructure.*i*sb
