In Ufa, the first deputy prime minister of the regional government, Azat Badranov, said that the construction of a new school in the city had been thwarted by Western countries. He called the sanctions imposed against Russia the reason. On the record official’s blog noticed newspaper “Kommersant”.
A school for 1,650 students has been built in a residential area on the eastern outskirts of the city since 2019. She was supposed to accept the first students in 2021. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the opening was postponed to August 2022.
Now the opening has been rescheduled for the winter, Badranov said. He explained the failure of the deadlines by the imposition of sanctions against Russia. “The sanctions pressure of the “democratic” West has pushed back the construction and commissioning of the school. Many materials and equipment have risen in price by 10-20 times,” the official said.
- The rise in prices for building materials in Russia began in the spring of 2020 due to the pandemic, the devaluation of the ruble, rising demand and increased exports. In 2021, it continued due to the growth of taxes in Russia, – informed RBC. After the start of the war and the imposition of sanctions, building materials in the country rose in price more slowly than inflation grew, the increase in prices since the beginning of the year amounted to 13 percent, follows from the statistics of Rosstat.
