“Russia and the Russian government, the Russian leadership will do everything to help the people who live and work there,” TASS quoted him as saying.
At the same time, he commented on the intention of one of the winners of the competition to take the post of Deputy Minister of Education and Science of the DPR.
“The fact that you made this decision indicates that you are not striving for some kind of cheap career, but striving precisely to serve the Fatherland, to serve the people.
It is worthy of respect.
I wish you success, the work there is not easy, to put it mildly," Putin added.
Earlier, the head of the Russian Defense Ministry, Sergei Shoigu, said at a conference call that Russian military builders are involved in the restoration of the DPR and LPR.
