The President held a videoconference meeting to discuss the socioeconomic development of Russia's reclaimed constituent entities The implementation of a comprehensive socioeconomic development programme for Donbass and Novorossiya was on the agenda. Over the last three years: 🔹 over 25,000 facilities, including schools, hospitals, sports grounds, as well as energy infrastructure and utilities, have been repaired or rebuilt; 🔹 about 1 million square metres of housing has been put into service; 🔹 almost 260 industrial enterprises have opened; 🔹 about 19 million tonnes of grain have been harvested; 🔹 over 8,000 kilometres of motorways have been repaired or constructed, including sections of the Azov Ring Highway. I will reiterate: rather than simply restoring and repairing everything that was destroyed or damaged, we must lay the foundation for a thorough transformation of Donbass and Novorossiya's economy and industry. We must ensure that all the facets of these regions gain a development boost, so that people see real changes for the better. This is a key task for our entire country, and it must be solved without fail.
