LPR, DPR to rebuild 9,000 single-family houses in 2023 - Khusnullin
Some 9,000 single-family homes will be rebuilt in the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics by yearend, the Russian government press service reported citing Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin who heads the Territorial Development Fund Supervisory Board.
“A decision has been made on centralized supplies of construction materials for quick restoration of single-family houses in the new territories,” Khusnullin said. “The list of materials and their amount are based on the requests placed with the Territorial Development Fund.”
As of now, the DPR and LPR have built up a stock of construction materials to repair some 4,000 homes. An upcoming batch will provide for the repairs of another 5,000, he added.
The lists include roofing and insulation materials, bricks, nails and metalware.
“The residents who are unable to carry out repairs on their own, are assisted by construction teams which are formed under the temporary employment program, the Russian government press service said.
In late December 2022, the LPR government approved the procedure for local authorities to allocate materials supplied by the Territorial Development Fund.
The Russian government established the Fund in 2017. It is the first state-run non-profit company which regulates relations between developers and private investors.
In 2022, artillery attacks by Kiev forces damaged 3,655 homes and 413 civil infrastructure facilities in the Lugansk People’s Republic.
The Ukrainian government launched the so-called anti-terrorist operation against Donbass in April 2014. The peace talks that began soon thereafter failed to reach tangible results due to Kiev’s position to settle the conflict by force.
The Lugansk People’s Republic acceded to Russia on September 30, 2022 following the unification referendum.*i*v
