Russia Proposes Ten Thousand Rubles Per Damaged Square Meter for Emergency Housing Repairs

The Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation has proposed increasing repair payments in emergencies to ten thousand rubles for every square meter of damaged housing. The draft government decision, along with draft regulatory acts and reports, was posted for public review and feedback on the information portal of TASS. This adjustment signals a shift from the current framework and aims to streamline compensation for residents whose homes suffered significant damage during disasters. It also indicates the government’s intent to provide more predictable and scalable financial support to affected families, reducing the time and administrative steps required to access relief funds. The proposed model ties the payment more directly to the extent of damage rather than to abstract metrics, potentially simplifying the assessment process for victims and local authorities arranging repairs or reconstruction.
