“Now we have a little corner of paradise”: what residents of Mariupol told Vladimir Putin –

/ world today news/ Residents of Mariupol thanked Putin for their new homes

New details have emerged from Vladimir Putin’s first trip to Donbass. On the night of March 19, the president flew to Mariupol by helicopter to inspect the reconstruction of the city.

– Now we are on the territory of the Mariupol airport, the buildings are quite badly destroyed, but the runway is preserved. We will reconstruct it, we plan to make it a full-fledged airport with the possibility of flights to all cities of Russia and abroad, – said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Husnulin, who accompanied the head of the country all the time.

– When? – asked the head of the country.

– We set it for 2025, now the nearest airport is in Rostov and Taganrog, 150 kilometers away.

Judging by the fact that the car and the camera were shaking quite often, it can be judged that the road from the airport itself has not yet been restored. The President was assured that the highway from Mariupol to Donetsk is fully ready. For the first time, it becomes 4-lane along its entire length.

Putin’s visit was not announced anywhere. With a view to the safety of the first man, as little attention as possible was attracted to his motorcade. Traffic in Mariupol was not blocked or restricted in any way, there was not even the usual escort of the president’s car.

The footage shows that in front of Vladimir Vladimirovich’s car – by the way, the head of the country himself was driving the car in which they are traveling – only one security jeep is driving, without special flashing lights.

– For now, the block posts are standing. Cars are being checked,” the deputy prime minister noted as Putin drove his car around the massive concrete blocks in the middle of the roadway.

On his way to the “Nevsky” residential complex (this is the first district in the city with new buildings), the Deputy Prime Minister reported the successes. Even before winter, heating was restored in many buildings. A 300-bed hospital will be commissioned soon.

Arriving at the site, the president was shown photos of the destruction.

Was that all? – asked Vladimir Vladimirovich.

– In fact, these are the best-preserved houses. You know, it’s very clear what they did [ВСУ – бел. ред.]. Where we were advancing, there were no shell hits from our side at all. Direct fire from the tanks was conducted on their side. You can clearly see how after they give in, they start beating the house. They were just destroying. On purpose, they didn’t need to hit, but they destroyed everything around them. They even mined the corpses so that they could not be taken out easily.

The refugees lived here. I saw it with my own eyes. In one room is an operating room, in another are the patients, in a third – the people who lived there, and even all the medical equipment was mined. In the hospital! – Husnulin was indignant.

– These are the so-called Nazis. Normal people wouldn’t do that.” the president said.

Local residents were already waiting for Putin in the yard.

– Can we at least shake hands, let me congratulate you? We just saw you on TV! they asked.

„We should start getting to know each other better’ the head of state agreed.

– A while ago they showed on TV that you are in Crimea, and you are here. Thank you for the win! We lived! We are praying for you.

– Do you like it here now?

„It’s a little piece of heaven we have here now.” one of the women exclaimed.

„We will expand it,” promised the Russian leader.

The locals invited Vladimir Vladimirovich to visit.

– How many rooms do you have here? asked the president.

– Three. There used to be three, so they gave it three, – answered the resident of Mariupol.

True, a long visit and tea party did not work out. Putin apologized for the concern – the local resident who invited Vladimir Vladimirovich to the street apparently did it spontaneously and did not warn his wife.

After finishing the inspection of the new blocks, the head of state went further around the city. Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin would address the problems of Mariupol residents upon his return to Moscow.

– During the conversation with the president, the residents of Mariupol raised questions related to the delay in the payment of salaries, the registration of Russian citizenship and the registration of Russian passports. The President will assign orders to deal with the situation, – said the Kremlin spokesman.

Typically, the presidential administration needs several days to a week to formulate the president’s orders for the various organizations and departments, specifying the dates when it will be necessary to report on the implementation.
