The resettlement order was determined by municipal commissions, with the participation of the prosecutor's office, based on citizen applications, but the head of Karelia Arthur Parfenchikov clearly set priorities: 

"Resettlement of families of SVO participants and veterans from dilapidated housing is our absolute priority, and we have been actively pursuing this work throughout the year."- shared he.
