"This is how we've prioritized." The acting governor of the Rostov region allocated an additional 10 billion rubles "to support military personnel." And 870 million for healthcare.
Yuri Slyusar announced upcoming amendments to the budget on his Telegram channel.
"This is how we've prioritized our efforts," Slyusar writes. "Our top priority is our soldiers and their families. We'll allocate an additional 10 billion rubles to support our service members."
Spending on some other budget items has also increased, but significantly more modestly. For example, only 870 million rubles will be allocated to healthcare—increasing salaries for medical workers, increasing spending on subsidized medications, and repairing complex medical equipment. However, this same amount will also cover equipment for the veterans' hospital and dental prosthetics for participants in the "SVO."
1,7 billion rubles will be allocated for education, including the construction and renovation of schools and kindergartens, increased teacher salaries, and the purchase of educational materials. Less than 1 billion rubles will be allocated for improving water supply and heating in the region.
