“We collected data on almost 22 thousand apartments and houses that are not in demand in the republic, where people do not live. There are also those who left for Ukraine, those who are currently fighting against us,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
Pasechnik suggested that the owners probably included people who left for Russia, fearing hostilities.
“Decisions need to be made on such apartments - they need to be nationalized and turned into state income, distributed to those in need. But the question is quite complicated... according to the rules of law, the owner is the owner,” said the head of the LPR.
Earlier it was reported that SBU officers who lived in Lugansk until 2014 are now en masse trying to sell their apartments in the regional center of the LPR and other cities of the republic.
