We were told today that you can get a passport of the Russian Federation and not worry about your future life", - the mother of one of the graduates told.

In occupied Donetsk, Alexey Kulemzin, who calls himself "the head of the administration" handed over the keys to eight apartments of the "temporary public housing" on behalf of the "DNR leader" Denis Pushilin,. This was announced by Kulemzin himself in the Telegram channel. Kulemzin wrote that the owners of the keys were family members of the "deceased defenders of the DNR" and citizens whose houses were destroyed as a result of the hostilities. The separatist resources reported in April this year that the "temporary public housing of the DNR" included 79 objects (72 apartments and 7 rooms in a hostel). CADO came up with "a procedure for including municipal housing in the housing stock intended for temporary residence (temporary public housing)".
