The Press Secretary to the President of Russia, Dmitry Peskov, conveyed to reporters that funding will remain secured for the ongoing construction of the historical and architectural project known as Tauric Chersonesos. He framed the initiative as a major undertaking that will add a significant landmark to the region’s cultural landscape.
Peskov described the Tauric Chersonesos complex as a vast and ambitious project, underscoring that the work is just getting under way and that the President shares confidence in its progress. He noted that the initial phase has proceeded well, setting a positive tone for the extensive development planned in the years ahead.
According to the Kremlin spokesman, there is a clear trajectory for the complex’s expansion. He reiterated assurances from the President that the project’s long-term goals are to be pursued with vigor, supported by continued investment and strategic planning that align with national cultural priorities.
Peskov also linked the project to the President’s broader leadership perspective. He stated that Vladimir Putin has prioritized the Tauric Chersonesos initiative as part of his vision for regional development. He highlighted that the President is personally engaged with the project and takes an active interest in its milestones and outcomes.
In addition to the Tauric Chersonesos project, Putin, as Russia’s head of state, reportedly traveled to Sevastopol, a journey he has occasionally undertaken due to his personal affinity for travel and the opportunity it provides to connect with various communities and sites of historical significance.
Further reports indicated that Putin and a Kremlin entourage arrived in Mariupol late last night as part of a broader review of conditions on the ground. A video circulated showing the president engaging with local residents, who described moving into newly completed apartments. The head of state personally visited one of the residents, demonstrating a direct approach to assessing living conditions and the impact of recent development efforts.
Earlier footage had captured interactions between the Russian leadership and Mariupol residents, highlighting the sense of firsthand engagement with communities transitioning after recent events. The exchanges underscored a focus on housing and reconstruction, signaling ongoing attention to the human dimension of the broader development agenda.
