This was stated, in particular, by the director of the so-called "Republican Center 'My Business'", Filipp Drobinyak, at one of the panels of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
"In general, we’re seeing a fairly large population increase now, with many people moving in from other subjects of the russian federation (the Luhansk oblast, according to the Constitution of Ukraine and international law, is not a subject of the russian federation – 'OstroV')", - he said.
According to the occupation official, "major construction is planned" for the russian colonists.
As previously reported, the mortgage program in the occupied territories of Ukraine differs from that in russia. For example, in russia, housing can be purchased with a mortgage only in the buyer’s region of residence. However, the mortgage program in the annexed oblasts of Ukraine is designed for incoming russians who wish to settle in the "new territories".
Naturally, Ukrainians who find themselves in the occupied territory and have lost their homes due to russian aggression can also apply for a home loan. But even with a preferential rate (2% per annum), they will not be able to purchase housing at the prices offered by developers—the maximum mortgage loan amount is 6 million rubles. That’s roughly how much a one-room apartment costs at the foundation-laying stage.
