right insignificant but now, after all , the continuation of the senate program. next in our program. the development of cooperation in all areas of the federation council delegation headed by valentin matvienko paid an official visit to algeria russian algerian relations are not subject to political commentary and influence. ah, third forces. it is very important. not every state can afford such a pen. how to build a house individual housing construction support measures and whether mortgages are available discuss with a guest in the studio more seventy percent of the inhabitants of russia today are ready, uh, to live in private homes. the energy sector development against the backdrop of geopolitical challenges is generally dynamic and powerful,

despite all the numerous packages of sanctions. activation of parliamentary relations and expansion of cooperation in all areas the delegation of the website of the federation , headed by valentina matvienko, arrived on an official visit to the volzhire, it is the largest african state located in the northern part of the continent algeria is one of the leading gas exporters the candidate for brix, as part of the senator's visit , laid a bean on the monument to the heroes of the war of independence, this monument is more than 90 m high, consists of three reinforced concrete palm leaves, in the middle is the eternal flame. russian delegation. i also visited a photo exhibition dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the council of the nation, algerian. people's democratic republic, the chairman of the council of the federation held a meeting with the chairman of the council of the nation of the people's democratic republic of algeria with allah gujil, a separate conversation. held with the president of algeria, during, at which valentina matvienko conveyed to abdel majid tebun an invitation from vladimir putin to pay an official visit to russia and

participate in the second russia-africa summit , valentina matvienko told reporters about the results of the meeting. for russia, algeria is a very important, reliable and proven partner. e on the african continent and remains an important trade and economic partner. uh, one of the lead partners. uh, also in this region and we are grateful to algeria for its balanced position for such an independent foreign policy and uh, for consistency in relation to russia from the development of our relations. i was pleased to hear from the president that russia has been a great friend of algeria. it seems to me that these words have a great, er, deep meaning in general. i want to express my feelings. e in the host country such a friendly attitude. eh,

benevolent warm. e, just as in russia, e refers to this false. yes, it is necessary to cherish it, it must be developed. uh, we have good prospects. good opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields in the energy sector. e transport of agricultural equipment, and and. not to mention in the field of education, culture, pharmaceuticals and others, and we will definitely implement these plans, because this is mutually beneficial cooperation, this cooperation is not against someone, but cooperation for the sake of interest in our e, countries for the benefit of our people. we are not friends against someone and we certainly appreciate. uh, the fact that russian and algerian relations are not subject to political contour and influence. ah, third forces. it is very important. not every

state can afford such luxury. uh, russian algerian attitude. now they are also important for e, stability and balance of the gas market. we are successfully cooperating in the opec plus format and the forum of gas exporting states, as you know. uh, algeria has expressed a desire to join, uh, the brix integration format, uh, russia will certainly support this intention and will contribute to this in every possible way. currently , work is underway to develop criteria for expanding the composition of the brix, valentina emphasized, therefore , all five countries included in the unification is a separate topic, which the president of the russian federation touched upon in an interview with journalists. preparations for the second russia's africa summit, which will be held this year in st. petersburg, are of great importance. well, first of all, the potential

of the african continent is huge and it is far away. it is not crimea yet, and of course, it is difficult to imagine the construction of a multipolar world with a single indivisible security of mutually beneficial cooperation, without a whole e continent. russia traditionally has very close ties with african historical ties. uh, when russia helped african countries in their national liberation struggle against colonialism. today we had the opportunity to visit the museum of visited heroes, the national liberation movement , you know, i saw a lot, but uh, what a colossal damage over 130 years. uh, the colonial administration of algeria was inflicted by france. what suffering she brought to the algerian people. eh,

what crimes were committed on the main thing, that e all the colonial countries introduced predatory? they plundered african countries. uh, instead of contributing their uh development and fortunately uh africans don't have a short memory, they remember it, they thank for it and they openly. they say that russia helped us, uh, and we cooperated without making any demands. uh helped us build power plants. e, helped the formation of states, without demanding anything in return. in contrast, e colonizers, who simply used these countries for their own enrichment. and that's why e. and in this vein, african countries treat russia with respect and hope for further development. eh, cooperation is important that

africa will host the russia africa economic forum on the sidelines. therefore, we expect the arrival of not only leaders of states, politicians, but also large groups of entrepreneurs from african countries. and as soon as we create a platform and conditions for the interaction of entrepreneurs. they will definitely find those niches where it will be profitable for them to interact last year in russia, the record for the construction of housing stock was broken, more than 100 million square meters of their living conditions were commissioned have improved more than three and a half million people, the demand of urban residents and us for suburban real estate is increasing. the development of individual housing construction of the state pays close attention. various support measures are in place, including recently, mortgage lending for the construction of a private house for many. this is very relevant, given the situation with the prices , set the materials on this topic. we

will discuss in detail with the guest of our studio, senator andrey shevchenko andrey anatolyevich on march 10 , a parliamentary dialogue with the minister of construction and housing and communal services of russia fayzullin, but they gave up, and various issues that concern the citizens of our country, in particular , were discussed. uh, including in the private sector, and in the construction of the office of the president. vasily nikolaevich good afternoon, good afternoon, dear vladimir vladimirovich vasily nikolaevich the smolensk region is not a stranger to you , you worked there not so long ago and at a high level. how do you assess the situation in the region? now you already have good experience and work in central authorities in the government of the russian federation, what do you consider the most

priority for the region at the present time? dear vladimir vladimirovich, i am really familiar with the questions and the situation in the region. i actually worked there. i created a family in the smolensk region and oversaw such important issues as finances and the budget for the development of the economy and did the maximum legal effort in order to ensure a decent quality life for the smolensk region and work on well-being, respectively, the residents of the region understand that there are still a lot of questions resolved, especially the most pressing issue that now worries the inhabitants of the region of this issue of health education, ecology , housing and communal services, as well as social security in particular. these are mobilized citizens, their family members, what is the first priority? i understand all the steps that i need to take, and i am ready to prepare

a detailed plan for the development of the region within a month. especially considering. those, uh measures of tools that you vladimir vladimirovich decision were accepted, e.g., on infrastructural development, and all these mechanisms and knowledge, which, e.g., received by me as part of the current work, are ready to be introduced into the development plan of the region and, if you agree, report to you and i understand that the regions have all the possibilities, and i worked there, i understand and advantageous position geographical availability of all resources. and the most important thing is the high quality of human capital. i understand that i worked with them, so there is no doubt that i will not let you down, and we will achieve all our goals in the development of russian regions nikolayevich you have really good experience in working in the government of the russian federation , and in such important areas as housing and communal

services construction and, recently, as a director of a department. regional development of the government of the russian federation and of course, i very much look forward to having all this knowledge. well, to put it bluntly, good contacts in the russian government with colleagues will allow you to effectively solve all the tasks facing the region, uh, the competitive advantages of the smolensk region. you really called. first of all, these are people with whom they are devoted to their small motherland, e, loves her. uh, these are good quality and trained people. uh, hmm, these are the western borders of the russian federation and this is also of particular importance, so i really expect that at a new place of work with a high level of responsibility. e you all these circumstances. take into account, and realize your best qualities to the blessing. i want to wish

you success. i thank you for your support it's huge. you are my responsibility to a huge challenge. i will do everything, so that it depends on me, i will make every effort of knowledge and experience for the development of the region and the improvement of the quality and well-being of the smolensk people. i'll try to draw everything. yes er, good luck at the first opportunity, and it will present itself immediately after you take the first steps in this work. we'll talk in person and, uh, discuss. eh, what needs to be done additionally so that all the tasks that are set in the development plan of the region are implemented, everything is fine. these were footage of a meeting between president vladimir putin and vasily anokhin, but now the continuation programs of the senate of the industry has been growing very recently among the inhabitants of our country , uh, tell me what are the prospects for this direction, but the dialogue that took place in

the federation council and with the minister of construction rek fayzul. really. uh, a lot of questions were asked among them. here. uh, a lot of regions applied just for individual housing construction. but if you take it in numbers, then i’ll just remind you that for 2022, and we have more than 100 million, to be precise 102 million, and there were square meters with given here are the veins of housing and of them more than half. it's 57. million square meters. this is individual housing - residential buildings very seriously, yes, and in sociology. just a nightingale over the past 2 years, and more than 70% of russian residents today are ready to, uh, live or want to live, uh, in private homes. and for this today there are all the prospects, well, thanks

to our president, who, uh, made sure that all the tools that are in construction today. uh, subsidized mortgages, and industrial construction. uh overall e housing complex, which today they are today, they also act on individual residential buildings. and, of course, today this one, and here it is this one, and the most important mechanism that allowed people, and especially with participation, when preferential mortgages, then, of course, people began to take loans and build houses, but here, what you want it should be noted that if we take these 50-7 million m² from the dacha for indi housing, then it is worth stating and saying that most of this was built, of course, in a ho- way. that is, the people themselves built it, explain, that is the people themselves are materials. yes, and land.

eh, someone is building on those plots where, for example , there were summer cottages and so on, but today we are talking about the development of the housing complex, namely industrial construction. and there is a lot to do today for this. well, i have already said that, of course, preferential mortgages. it is being used today and this mechanism allows residents today to purchase, that is , indeed, housing has become more affordable, but the task is to make it more affordable not only to build it yourself, but it is very important today, and that it be on an industrial basis, probably one of the most important issues. with such construction , this is a. of course, probably, the infrastructure after all, when you build a house, well, i remember myself, according to the experience of my father, they catapulted a dacha, yes, they always looked to make sure there was a road. yes , to have electricity, that's over time. here they also put a column, water appeared, well, in general, it’s fine. and even more so when

it comes to industrial construction. that is, it must be, probably, some communications are down. if we are talking about the construction, probably already cottages of some already small villages. uh, built according to the typical way . that's right, because, uh, well, in our understanding. edo can be a country house. uh, built it where, let's say there was an old house to rebuild it. but, when we talk about mass development and sometimes there is such a picture you stop by on where land plots were allocated for a houses or they call it a cottage village, whatever they call it, it does not change the essence and what are the roads? there's no what of 100 houses that were planned and stood, in the long term, there are 10-15 houses, and then each e has a different degree of readiness of electricity, not everyone has it, and so on and so forth. and here is the problem

that needs to be solved. it is, of course, construction. here are these towns or residential uh, individual houses, uh, through the industrial, what is necessary for this to exist today, standard projects are not only standard projects of houses, but standard projects, and in order for the residents of mahe , to choose a standard project that there is structures today. uh, in general, in the village, so that you can see what is in this village. and besides the houses, there will definitely be a road from a kindergarten, if it is needed there, and there will be a natural means of communication, and so on and so forth. this is exactly what we are talking about, and for this we need to develop today. and make land available. and of course, uh, subsidized mortgages that are in effect today, but uh, we met with developers today, unfortunately, banks. uh, they don't always credit the people who,

uh, start building. still, that's what we call here are the pilot projects. and, let's say those who build their own house. they can take, and a mortgage loan for a-and those building materials that today bought accommodation, may not be enough. especially something so that prices have increased recently, well, for objective reasons, objectively. yes, and it is very important that today the mechanism. e shields from crow are used today here too, and here the question arises. and it is very important that we understand that today. uh, when we talk about fraudulent real estate investors, which we already forgot when we spoke, because at one time the president. i understood the decision to scroll the account and a decision was made, and today we are already talking about it as about the past, but there are still questions when it is necessary to solve them there today , and it is very important that when building through blood counts. e, to the developer was

profitable. this is a business, if it is profitable to set it up, of course, he will come into this business , and for this it is necessary, but long, cheap money and, of course, to be affordable, er, ready-made kits at home, and to buy with this money. well, you said ready houses speech sets in the first place, of course, there are finished wooden houses, of course here. and as it is now developing, as wooden construction. i know there are very interesting projects, including multi-apartments and even multi-storey ones . tell us more. indeed, this is a very promising direction, if you remember the wooden one. the building in russia is also a very large uh historically. e, it has always been, and therefore we are today e, we say, if by numbers, today, unfortunately, only 10%, e of the total construction is wooden housing construction task, and in

the construction development strategy until 2030, and bring up to 20%, but at the same time, that our country is the richest forest reserves in the russian federation is estimated at about 25% of all, and the forests of the world. our task today. ah. this is to develop the industry, and we, together with the ministry of construction and the ministry of industry, trade today. uh, a lot, paying attention to uh, let's say the same help, the same loans for those enterprises that process wood today and there are examples of such today and i today, uh, well, here are two exactly one of them there in the vologda oblast, those enterprises that meet these requirements. and besides, today wooden housing construction is already being built in six regions according to standard

projects. 11 projects are still few, but i think that this is only the beginning and is developing. this market is very good and it is a very important task to make it really accessible , i repeat once again, because it is possible to build houses for 10 million and very expensive. but it should be exactly the accessibility that we are together we understand that there should be a house, and standard projects should be small, so that he chooses himself, and the customer of this house and it should be functional , it should be warm and today the requirements for wooden houses are really very high today and for seismic resistance and a wooden house. and here are the tests that were carried out. but today it is not inferior either in strength to a stone house or in thermal conductivity, but it is very reliable, and it is warm, it is cozy, multi-storey, and there are already experiments in order to check technology today. e designs

of wooden today have a house of nine floors. i don't know he will not be needed, but the very fact that in the near future, er colleagues, we talked. uh, so up to 12 floors ready. uh, to assemble wooden houses, and they are responsible for its strength. naturally, all those requirements that are necessary today are 100% met, but we will bring it to us today, of course, about single-story houses, maximum two-story ones. and well, it must be massive, because today the use of wooden structures. unfortunately, it is not yet small for us. this week marks the day of the reunification of crimea with russia, a historic event that took place on march 18, 2014. in moscow, when an agreement was signed on the entry into the russian federation of two new subjects of the republic of crimea and the federal city of sevastopol, this was preceded

by the signing of a declaration of independence of crimea and sevastopol, and then a nationwide referendum was held there, at which the vast majority of crimeans voted for reunification with russia how life on the peninsula has changed over these 9 years, let's talk to the senator representing the interests of this subject in the federation council with olga fedorovna komeditide tell us what transformations have taken place in crimea during this time. and what do you think? still to be done? i remember perfectly well 2014, when we remember here in february march, it was a very difficult year for each of us, and today is already bringing us real results and it’s easy not to talk about them today. we can't, well, first of all, we're talking about what is invested in the economy of the republic today. pay attention to 1 trillion 439 billion rubles. this is, uh, quite serious money in investments that were invested in fixed capital. in general, this is

the present tense. in crimea, we have only the main problems with the main line of new absolutely beautiful schools, built in the republic of 137 kindergartens. e. well, as far as pre-school education is concerned, we have resolved this issue. 100 percent accessibility of pre-school education, taking into account the commissioning of new facilities under construction, should be achieved. already in 2024. this is extremely important for the republic, because the problem with kindergartens has never been resolved in crimea. and therefore, today we are talking about the fact that everything that has been done, and in the republic, it is an extremely important income for every crimean. multidisciplinary republican medical center in yalta and modern multidisciplinary republican medical center semashko hospital, as we call it in crimea, it is completely unrecognizable . this is a huge building in which the latest equipment is excellent doctors. and hmm we

today we are proud of our semashko hospital, a vascular center 4 has been created for the center of oncological care in the cities of yevpatoriya dzhankoy and simferopol yalta crimea is developing crimea is developing at a leaps and bounds and no one is able to stop the development of crimea today, we are talking about the presence of outstripping rates of development of the socio-economic development of the republic of such support. which is allocated by the federal center of moscow to the crimea and we have never seen crimea in the soviet period. well, we don’t say anything about ukraine anymore, because it was the period when the juices were simply pulled out of the crimea in order to somehow support directly, ah. scales of the oligarchs who simply robbed the republic and today we are glad that we have the crimean canal in the north, and we know that a new reservoir will be built, new heat and gas supply facilities, new healthcare facilities. yes, all this will happen, but i would like to say that according to how

the subject develops or does not develop. we can talk by looking at how it develops the construction industry, crimea is being built, and in 9 years, almost 2 million m² of multi-apartment housing has been commissioned. we are talking about the fact that by 2030 we plan to build about 1 million square meters of new housing olga fedorovna a. what about transport infrastructure? what key implemented projects would you highlight. i'm sure even that we should note the loudest the brightest. uh, such infrastructure projects that are being talked about not only in russia are being talked about all over the world. well, first of all, this is our handsome man, the crimean bridge, yes, to whom, of course, to someone there uh hmm, outside of russia, he doesn’t let you sleep peacefully, because, well, such a grandiose project, even ahead of tsarist russia , they tried to implement it. only during the period when crimea was in russia, we were able to say that this handsome bridge had already been built. yes, the crimean bridge was built, it is

the longest bridge in europe and is 19 km long. here in the network. hmm, all these nasty things that they tried to do to us, when we knew there was a sabotage on the crimean bridge, everything is being eliminated very quickly. the crimean bridge is working and we are sure that hmm and it will work. a. well , of course, today i would like to remind you once again about our beautiful taurida e, well, you know the length of it is 25. kilometers. it is actually the main transport artery of the crimea and e. today we are all very proud of the overall quality of this road surface. we are proud of the beauty of this road. we are crimeans. we are at home and we will protect our home and no one else. we won’t allow us to go home to crimea, and i want our people there to clearly understand that crimeans know how to value their homeland, they love their

homeland and know how to defend it. now let's talk about the new russian regions, which still have to go from integration into the legal field of russia and the successful implementation of large-scale socio-economic transformations , senator dmitry voronov, who represents this entity in the federation council, dmitry nikolayevich, told us about how this will happen in the zaporozhye region you said that the economic recovery of the region will take 1-2 years, and in order to solve this problem, it is necessary to restore and develop the transport infrastructure of the car. useful roads are bridges, what is being done in this direction? well, first of all , our population already notes the repair of the main road here, which connects the crimean peninsula with mariupol, the section from melitopol to berdyansk has already been brought into good standard condition along it. we are already moving at a good speed, thank you. god has repaired. eh, the whole situation. thanks for this to our government. thanks

to those services of rosavtodor and all contractors who are very fast and very high quality never carried out a major overhaul of this road. she was probably not in such a state for all the years of ukrainian independence as well. today we are restoring the bridges that were destroyed by the railways. unfortunately, during a special military operation , the confrontation with the ukrainian regime, which deliberately damages civilian infrastructure, has also been damaged. tours and, of course, this is a rather serious situation for us, and one of the egregious moments, let's say, when the bridge was being repaired and rocket defeat. unfortunately, uh, the people who died were the repairmen who were restoring the railway bridge. e, according to which today we continue to carry out repair work to restore the connection between the railways and the crimea in a normal volume, we also plan

to restore and repair the highway. between melitopol and simferopol , we are doing this together with the authorities of the crimean peninsula and the kherson region. again , we thank the federal center for the support provided to us by the ministry of transportation of the growth of the author and specifically the government apparatus and the working group on our infrastructure project, dmitry nikolayevich, and another important area for the restoration and development of the transport component is port infrastructure and ferry communications. it is known that a lot of work is also going on in this direction. tell us, please, in more detail, well, a very important direction. i recently visited the berdyansk commercial sea port, in which and today we will already say that the main work on its restoration has been climbed. now you need its gender.
