More than 330 residents of four old five-story buildings on Plyushcheva and Masterovaya streets have completed paperwork for new apartments under the renovation program. This was reported by Ekaterina Solovieva, Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of City Property.

"In the second half of May, about 900 Muscovites from houses 8 and 10, buildings 1 and 2 on Plyushcheva Street, and house 5 on Masterovaya Street began a phased relocation to a new residential complex at 6a Perovskaya Street. Now, 90 percent of city residents who have begun relocation have already decided on their choice of housing in the modern residential complex — over 800 people. More than 330 of them have signed contracts with the City Property Department to receive equivalent housing. Apartments are provided to program participants with finished finishing, which will allow new residents to move in immediately without wasting time on repairs," said Ekaterina Solovyova.

The new building is located a five-minute walk from the five-story buildings being resettled — after moving in, residents will be able to use the familiar infrastructure. Over time, shops, service enterprises, or city organizations will appear on the ground floors.

"The residential complex on Perovskaya Street will have 442 apartments with finished, improved finishes. Three of them have been equipped for people with limited mobility and disabilities – they have made wide corridors and doorways, and handrails have been installed in the bathrooms. A children's playground and a sports ground with a safe rubber surface, as well as a recreation area, have been set up near the building. CCTV cameras and lights have been installed in the courtyard. After moving, city residents will be able to maintain their usual way of life, since the five-story buildings being resettled are a five-minute walk from the new building," added the Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the capital's Department of Urban Development Policy.

A comprehensive territorial development project (CTD) will be implemented in the Basmanny District of the Central Administrative District of Moscow. Within its framework, six inefficiently used land plots will be reorganized. The corresponding draft resolution posted on the Moscow Government website, said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.

"The integrated development project for the Basmanny District envisages the reorganization of six sites with an area of 9.53 hectares. Three of them with a total area of 4.23 hectares will be allocated for launch sites for the renovation program. They plan to build more than 110 thousand square meters of residential real estate there. The necessary infrastructure will be built on other sites located nearby, and cultural facilities will be preserved. The operator of the integrated development of the territory will be a city developer. As a result of the project, more than one thousand jobs will be created here," said Vladimir Efimov.

The areas allocated for redevelopment are located at the intersection of Tsentrosoyuzny and Balakirevskiy lanes. This is an area with a rich history and established infrastructure. Nearby there is a school, college, lyceum, exhibition center, pharmacy, medical center, bank branch, coffee shops, restaurants, and the Moscow Drama Theater "Modern" is also located.

"The area of apartments in new buildings will be approximately 64.8 thousand square meters, which will provide new housing for about 2.3 thousand city residents. In addition to construction, the project also provides for the preservation of cultural sites located on two sites. On one of them, where the Moscow Food Plant previously operated, two sculptures were installed in the 70s of the last century: a monument to Lenin and a monument to the workers of the enterprise who died during the Great Patriotic War. They will be put in order and moved to a new location. On the site of the former Moscow Margarine Plant of Centrosoyuz, they will preserve the historical complex of dormitories of the former factory for the production of paper yarn of the merchant S.A.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Over the past six months, the capital has purchased goods and services from small businesses for 237.5 billion rubles. The most popular categories were medical products, construction materials and educational services, which accounted for more than a third of the total number of contracts concluded. This was reported by Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Moscow Department of Economic Policy and Development.

"Small businesses are actively involved in many capital projects. They are engaged in the construction of urban infrastructure facilities, road repairs, landscaping courtyards, ensuring uninterrupted supplies of food and medicine to schools, kindergartens and hospitals. In January-June of this year, Moscow concluded more than 133 thousand contracts with small businesses worth 237.5 billion rubles. Most often, the city purchased medical products and medicines from them: 25 thousand contracts worth over 64 billion rubles were signed for their supply. Construction materials and educational services were also very popular. In these categories, 12 thousand deals worth 7.6 billion rubles and almost 11 thousand contracts worth 1.2 billion rubles were concluded, respectively," said Maria Bagreeva.

The city creates favorable conditions for small businesses to participate in government procurement, including by improving laws on contractual relations. Since 2022, all purchases up to 20 million rubles will be made exclusively among small business entities (SMEs). This expands opportunities for enterprises, allowing them to participate in government tenders and develop their business. The share of small businesses in the capital's economy is also growing thanks to interregional cooperation in procurement.

"Moscow is actively developing cooperation with entrepreneurs from other regions of the country. In particular, over the first six months of this year, over 40 percent of contracts with SMEs were with regional suppliers, and their amount exceeded 73 billion rubles. Most often, representatives of small businesses from the Moscow Region, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar Krai, Tyumen and Nizhny Novgorod Regions participated in the capital's purchases – over 30 thousand contracts worth more than 42 billion rubles were concluded with them," the head of the capital's Department of Competition Policy emphasized.

Moscow's contract system consistently demonstrates high efficiency. The capital leads the national ranking transparency of procurementBy standardizing procedures, introducing digital technologies and involving small businesses, Moscow government procurement ensures savings at all stages of the process.

BRUSSELS, July 23 (Xinhua) — Senior European Union officials on Tuesday strongly condemned the killing of civilians in lines for humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, warning Israel to uphold its commitments on aid access and comply with international law.

“The killing of civilians waiting for humanitarian aid in Gaza is unforgivable,” EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas wrote on social media X. She said she had spoken to Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar to remind him of how the EU understands aid and to demand that the Israeli military stop killing people at distribution points.

“We do not rule out any options if Israel does not fulfill its obligations,” she added.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen shared those concerns, calling the situation in Gaza “unbearable” and stressing that civilians must never be targeted.

“The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and rapid flow of humanitarian aid, with full respect for international and humanitarian law,” she wrote on the social network X. “The civilian population of Gaza has suffered too much and for too long. This must stop now. Israel must live up to its obligations,” added U. von der Leyen.

The comments come amid a series of deadly incidents in the Gaza Strip. Health authorities in the enclave said Israeli forces opened fire on civilians waiting for aid distribution on Sunday, killing at least 85 people. Six more were killed in a separate incident in Rafah. –0–
