Russian President Vladimir Putin said authorities intend to raise the standard of living in what he referred to as Russia's "historical regions" while restoring them, according to TASS.
Putin said the government will proceed from the principle of expediency and from the position that people living in these territories are full-fledged citizens of the Russian Federation, the report states.
Context of the Remarks
The reference to "historical regions" relates to areas of Ukraine that Russia has occupied and claims to have annexed since its full-scale invasion in 2022, a status not recognized by Ukraine or the majority of the international community.
TASS's report does not specify what concrete measures Putin outlined for raising living standards in these areas, nor does it address the humanitarian or infrastructure conditions currently facing residents there.
Putin's comments align with previous statements in which he has framed Russia's governance of the occupied territories as an extension of full Russian citizenship rights and state investment, a characterization disputed by Ukraine and Western governments.
