The head of state said this during a meeting on the development of southern Russia and the Azov region.

Putin noted that the Azov and Black Seas are traditional vacation spots for Russians.

“I would like to emphasize that we need to make sure that as many of our citizens and families as possible can relax in Russia and choose a vacation to their liking,” the Russian leader emphasized.

He added that it is necessary to create conditions with a high level of comfort at affordable prices.

In addition, Vladimir Putin proposed separating freight and passenger railway flows in the southern direction.
