"Crimea and Sevastopol. For obvious reasons - this is one of the most voluminous federal target programs due to the huge backlog that occurred for known historical reasons, "RIA Novosti quotes the prime minister.
He noted that it was "about updating the entire infrastructure, roads, energy complex, engineering communications."
"And, of course, about the urgent social issues in the construction of kindergartens, schools, solving the problems of emergency housing, repairing hospitals, creating conditions for people who come to the Crimea to rest," he added.
Previously, the newspaper Izvestia wrote that businessmen from Bahrain and China are ready to invest more than € 100 million in the development of the infrastructure of the Crimea.
The Crimea became the Russian region following a referendum held there in March 2014, at which most of the inhabitants of the peninsula spoke in favor of reunification with Russia.
