| Answering a question from a resident of Russky Island in the Far East, Putin said 500 billion rubles ($ 20 million) was allocated for the development of the Far East and the Trans-Baikal region for the next 4-5 years. This was the highest allotment for federal target programs, he said, adding that the money would help eliminate the problems faced by those living in the Far East. However, there were more systemic problems in the region, such as the disparity of prices for energy and transport services, as well as infrastructure problems. |
