“In general, I think that all the issues that have been going on recently in terms of building up social support for the population are all right.

Especially when it comes to the blockade, ”said the senator.

He added that great attention is paid to social policy in Russia.

“We are very consistently consolidating the social orientation of all the policies that have recently been gaining strength in our country,” concluded Varfolomeev.

Earlier, Putin, at a meeting with the Governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov in the videoconference mode, offered to pay the blockade of Leningrad 50 thousand rubles at a time.

He noted that this will affect Russians living in Russia, the Baltic countries, Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Transnistria.
