“We still need to look for patriots like those in Donbass in Russia itself” - State Duma deputy
In the Donbass, a program of socio-economic development until 2024 is envisaged, which includes the construction of new schools and new preschool institutions, roads, and solutions to the development of accessible healthcare, including on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Viktor Vodolatsky, a State Duma deputy and first deputy chairman of the Committee on CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration and Relations with Compatriots, stated this at a rally of supporters of the United Russia party in Donetsk, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“As for the program for the socio-economic development of Donbass until 2024, believe me, maybe not every resident of Donbass knows these figures, but these are impressive figures. These are new schools, and new preschool institutions, these are new roads, these are issues of healthcare development, these are issues of accessible healthcare, including on the territory of the Russian Federation,” Vodolatsky said. “I am confident that we will do this together, and the army of supporters that is being formed today will naturally be a living organism, it will not be a bureaucratic mechanism.”
“I have always said that real patriots of Russia live in Donbass; we still need to look for such patriots in Russia itself. Therefore, many thanks to you for your work. Because by the end of the year there will be significantly more supporters in the tens of thousands, and this is a huge powerful force,” added the Russian deputy.
"You'd have to look hard to find patriots like those in Donbass in Russia itself," says State Duma deputy.
