Putin asked about the work being carried out on the section of the road from Gelendzhik to Dzhubga. According to Dietrich, the conditions in this section are difficult, because it is expensive in the foothills, but those traveling from the north to the Crimean bridge will be able to take the new road. Putin will emphasize that "here we must do."
