Therefore, today's decision of the Duma is more of a political demarche than a change in the policy of the Russian Federation regarding Donbas. By the way, this is a very bad signal for the residents of CADLO. They want to live in a normal state. And they were promised for a long time that "great Russia" would be this state. But received the consolidation of the bandit reservation at the legal level. Bummer!...
Therefore, no growth is planned in fact, the current "authorities" in Donetsk simply hope to return to the pre-coronavirus level in 2-3 years. As for the expected increase in wages, you need to understand that now it is at bargain-basement levels...
Thus, following the results of the amnesty, 0.026% of "shadow" income can be legalized in a year. An indicator next to none. Even if it grows 100 times in some mysterious way, it should still be considered a failure...
Conditions impossible not just for a decent life – but for elementary survival – are being deliberately created. But, of course, turning CADLO into a completely depopulated desert is also impossible – the subject for the foreign policy bargaining on the future fate of the region is lost in this case. Therefore, there will be no complete cessation of subsidies from the Kremlin...
On August 4, restrictions began to operate in the Rostov oblast, according to which entry to administrative institutions is prohibited without a vaccination certificate. The new rules also apply to the residents of the "LDNR"...
It is not just about market monopolization. That is, the ability to dictate the prices to suppliers and buyers – taking advantage of the fact that there is no other buyer/seller able to offer more favorable conditions. Everything is much more serious: the growth of the economic power of R.Akhmetov's business empire accordingly increases his influence on Ukrainian politics...

The death rate from COVID-19 in Donetsk is 4 times higher than in Luhansk. At the same time, it is the "LNR" that cancels all public events, fearing an outbreak of coronavirus, and Donetsk, on the contrary, as if defeating the pandemic, is celebrating and having fun with might and main...

It went wrong with the buses, but the enterprise was making metal structures for some - which in terms of creating added value is a giant step back in comparison with the production of buses...
The document is currently under consideration by the relevant committee. In the meantime, residents of СADLO, who need to get to the controlled part of Ukraine, will continue to pay bribes or fines. Or hope that the border guard will not draw up a protocol. The hopes that the occupation "authorities" of СADLO will open the checkpoint on their side and people will be able to move more conveniently across the contact line are getting smaller day by day.
We didn't want to leave. You see, the older the tree, the worse it takes root in a new place. We are like old trees. But we understand that life does not end with the loss of a home. Thank God our children are alive and our parents are alive...

Gazprom's "charity" price in relation to the "DNR"-"LNR" under such conditions is already completely different than even the one that was a year ago.
