Russia has admitted that it does not intend to restore part of the population centers in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, which were destroyed as a result of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation.
The Minister of Construction and Housing of the Russian Federation Irek Faizullin said this. Faizullin stated that Russians will not restore part of the destroyed Ukrainian cities. As an example, he cited the occupied Popasna of the Luhansk region, which was almost completely destroyed during the hostilities in the spring of 2022. “Because the city of a hundred thousand people, there is nothing left there, we are not doing anything there yet, seven people live there, they do not want to leave their individual housing: there is no water, no light, no electricity, heat, of course, and gas too, but people want to stay,” Faizullin said.

According to him, the Russian troops are also not conducting any work on the restoration of Severodonetsk, Lysychansk, Kreminnaya and Rubizhny.
He added that now the Russians are allegedly conducting a survey of those settlements that were captured by one of the latter.
At the same time, the Russians allegedly emphasize the restoration of “the most socially significant objects”.
In occupied Severodonetsk, Luhansk region, the Russians continue looting the Azot chemical enterprise. Once every few days, a convoy of trucks with leftover equipment leaves its territory.
The Russians announced their intention to build a city of 30,000 people on the spit of the Arabat arrow, which should become the “pearl” of the Sea of Azov.
