Construction of a six-story building has been completed in Mariupol's Zhovtnevyi district. 84 apartments in the building will be provided as compensation to citizens who lost their homes during the fighting. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Restoring housing stock and constructing compensation apartment buildings in the reunited regions is an important social issue. We've been working on it since 2022, and to date, approximately 7,500 buildings have been restored and 75 have been built. Among them is a new six-story building with a total area of 7,700 square meters in the Zhovtnevyi district of Mariupol. It comprises 84 apartments in three sections. All will be handed over to residents with interior finishing, so they can settle in as quickly as possible," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that the construction of this building was carried out by the Single Customer in the Construction Sector public corporation.

"The new residential building features 14 one-bedroom apartments, 34 two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments, and two four-bedroom apartments. Additionally, specialists have landscaped the surrounding area, creating convenient access and parking spaces, pedestrian paths, and children's playgrounds," noted Karen Oganesyan, General Director of Unified Customer.

The government continues its systematic work to improve communities across the country, including small towns and historic settlements, through the All-Russian Competition for the Best Projects to Create a Comfortable Urban Environment. This work is being carried out at the direction of President Vladimir Putin as part of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project, announced Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The All-Russian competition for the best projects to create a comfortable urban environment has proven itself to be an effective tool for developing small communities. Importantly, this process involves residents and the professional community. Thus, the competition helps create the very places people need. Since 2019, over 1,100 winning projects have been implemented, and this work continues. The 1,000th project was the "Energy of Sports" space in Ruzayevka, Republic of Mordovia, which was selected and designed with the direct participation of citizens. Over 2,000 people voted in favor of transforming a former wasteland. Each such project changes people's lives for the better, creating new opportunities for recreation, sports, and socializing, while also stimulating local economic development. A total of 1,609 projects were selected during the competition: 679 parks, 301 embankments, 262 squares, 367 streets, and pedestrian areas," said Marat Khusnullin.

These facilities harmoniously combine modern comfort with the historical and cultural character of their territories, becoming centers of attraction and drivers of development.

"In 2025, to develop the federal project 'Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment' of the national project 'Infrastructure for Life,' we expanded the opportunities for regions to participate in the all-Russian competition for improvement projects. Now, settlements with a population of up to 300,000 people are eligible, including rural settlements that are core areas, as well as historical settlements that are the administrative centers of constituent entities of the Russian Federation. This has significantly expanded the project's geographic scope. The competition actively encourages the attraction of extra-budgetary funding in the regions – from 5 to 25%, which contributes to the development of local project teams and their competencies. The implementation of the competition projects has created 26,730 new jobs and 6,088 commercial and entrepreneurial facilities. Our shared goal is to maintain the project's momentum and the achieved pace, ensuring that small towns are not left out of large-scale transformations, but become a pillar of the country's future. By 2030, it is planned to implement more than “1,600 winning projects,” said Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Irek Fayzullin.

Federal executive bodies, the Federation Council, the State Duma, as well as representatives of the expert community, architects, and urbanists, participate in the national competition's awards ceremony. The awards ceremony for the winners takes place annually at the All-Russian Forum "Development of Small Towns and Historic Settlements," with the participation of Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

Construction of two dormitories for 250 and 450 students and faculty at the Vernadsky Crimean Federal University in Simferopol has been completed. Deputy Prime Minister and Supervisor of the Southern Federal District Marat Khusnullin announced this.

"The Crimean Peninsula is a dynamically developing region, attractive not only for living and tourism, but also for obtaining a high-quality education. We are purposefully creating all the necessary conditions for this, actively developing our infrastructure. A striking example is the completion of two Crimean Federal University dormitories in Simferopol, with a total area of 13,600 square meters. A certificate of conformity has been received, the facilities are fully equipped and are being prepared for commissioning, with occupancy scheduled for September 2026. The university is a major scientific and educational center in Crimea and one of the leading universities in the Southern Federal District. It trains highly qualified personnel for important sectors of the economy: medicine, the agro-industrial complex, construction and architecture, tourism, and IT. Creating comfortable living and studying conditions is a significant contribution to the future of the peninsula, its human resource sovereignty, and its further development," said Marat Khusnullin.

The dormitories are built in blocks. Each block has one or two rooms with private bathrooms, including those for people with disabilities on the ground floors. Kitchens are also located on each floor, with a gym and medical offices on the ground floor and a cafeteria on the basement floor.

In addition, specialists improved the surrounding area of the dormitories, adding landscaping and paving driveways and sidewalks. Sports grounds, recreation areas, tennis courts, and two parking lots were installed near the buildings.

"We are also constructing five educational and laboratory buildings for the university, with a total area of over 46,000 square meters. Work is currently underway on the facades of two of them—the Institute of Foreign Philology building and the Architectural and Civil Engineering Academy building. All buildings are scheduled to be completed and equipped with modern technological equipment in 2027," noted Karen Oganesyan, General Director of the Unified Customer Production and Consulting Company.

The Vernadsky Crimean Federal University comprises 13 institutes, six colleges, an academy, and a technical school. Over 23,000 students from Russia and abroad study there in higher and secondary vocational education programs in medicine and healthcare, agriculture, construction and architecture, and other fields.
