Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin held working meetings with the governors of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, Yevhen Balitsky and Volodymyr Saldo.
The Deputy Prime Minister discussed with the head of the Zaporizhzhia region the further measures that need to be taken to develop the region, taking into account the difficult situation.
“Special attention must be paid to the preservation, restoration, and reliability of the energy complex. The operation of housing and communal services facilities and industry depends on this. I would like to note that in conditions of constant danger, repair crews of specialists work around the clock, keeping the energy system operational. More than 1,800 apartment buildings and social facilities, as well as nearly 2,800 km of engineering networks, have been prepared for the autumn-winter period. An important issue is ensuring the region’s fuel supply. Evgeny Vitalyevich reported that daily interaction with the federal center and suppliers allows for the phased replenishment of its reserves. Fuel is currently being released with certain restrictions, but this is temporary. Communal and emergency services are fully supplied with fuel. We separately discussed the implementation of additional measures to protect the routes and bridges, which are deliberately targeted by attacks. This issue is under constant government control. Despite objective difficulties, the region continues to implement the socio-economic development program, and work on the national project “Infrastructure for Life” does not stop.”Planned activities are also being carried out for specific sectoral programs, such as the comprehensive development and modernization of housing and communal services. Major repairs of apartment buildings, resettlement from emergency housing stock, modernization of main facilities, filtration stations, and engineering networks are underway,
Following the meeting with the governor of the Kherson region, the deputy prime minister noted that the regional team manages to maintain development pace despite the ongoing tense operational situation, which imposes certain difficulties.
“Vladimir Vasilievich highlighted the important issue of ensuring communication between municipalities. We will look for ways to solve this problem. Nevertheless, the region maintains positive momentum in implementing the planned activities both under the socio-economic development program and the national project ‘Infrastructure for Life.’ For example, housing construction is going well. Currently, nine residential complexes with a total area of 367 thousand square meters for 5 thousand apartments are being built. Some of them will be allocated for the resettlement of residents from emergency housing. Of course, the primary task today remains preparation for the heating season – almost 80% of the planned volume of work has been completed, including at social facilities, educational institutions where classes will soon begin. In case of emergencies, it is important to prepare a sufficient number of generators and supply fuel for boiler houses. Overall, the Kherson region has prospects for growth, which are based both on its favorable geographic location and on the favorable climate that allows agricultural activities, and thus the strengthening of economic ties with the southern regions of Russia,” added Marat Khusnullin.
