Preparing for the heating season in the Far East

Perhaps the main task for the new administration of Primorye is to prepare for the coming winter. This issue attracts government attention every year. And every year on the topic of the heating season, everyone is so fed up with debates. After all, the problem is much bigger than just starting a fireplace at home. At the meeting of the government, one of the main topics was the northern delivery. And the governor of the Kamchatka region, Mikhail Mashkovtsev, is already talking about the critical situation in the region. Due to the lack of funds, a breakdown in fuel accumulation is quite likely. So that the entire region can survive the winter normally, at the moment the regional budget needs one and a half billion rubles. But at the same time, an NTV correspondent from the White House says – quite the opposite. He has the impression that this time there are no problems with preparations for the heating season. Just like there are no special complaints about the course of its preparation. Everything is going according to plan, even ahead of schedule. Mikhail Kasyanov also painted a rather optimistic picture. He says that for the whole of last year, there were no complaints, either to the local authorities of these regions, or to the federal one, about the heating season. He also admits there are problems. Kasyanov considers their main reason to be the lack of funding and the unreasonable use of it. And other organizational moments are nothing more than side effects. As for financial issues, we are talking about such numbers as 6.5 Miliards rubles. This amount should come from the federal budget. Now the plan is about 60% completed., which is by no means a bad result, according to experts. In turn, 300% of the cargo has already been delivered to the Kamchatka region, which is associated with the northern delivery. Northern delivery takes place in 28 regions of the Russian Federation. These include the regions of the Far North and the nearest regions. At this time, 104% of oil products have already been imported to Primorye, compared to last year. Oil products used for heating are mainly fuel oil and derivatives from the refining residues of the oil industry. The President instructed Mikhail Kasyanov to take the current situation with the heating season under his own control. To do this, he will go to Vladivostok in the near future. If we talk about the figures that Kasyanov cited, then they do not give any reason for concern.
