Belgorod region leadership reports steady progress in rebuilding efforts following recent bombardments. In Grayvoron, authorities say the repair program is nearing completion, with 96 out of 117 damaged homes already restored and made habitable. The pace reflects a clear priority toward restoring living spaces where people reside permanently, ensuring families can return to secure, functional housing as quickly as possible. Local officials emphasize that the work is targeted and systematic, aiming to resume normal life for residents who were displaced or displaced temporarily, while continuing to monitor and address any ongoing structural concerns in affected houses.
In Kozinka, the situation is similar but with different scale. Officials note that 177 houses suffered damage from the recent shelling, and seven of these structures cannot be restored due to the extent of the damage. Restoration teams have already begun the process for the remaining buildings, prioritizing safety, accessibility, and the return of residents to their communities. The emphasis remains on rapid yet responsible reconstruction, with a focus on rebuilding essential housing and community facilities to support daily life as normalcy returns.
Officials also discussed the broader rebuilding timeline and the distribution of effort across affected towns and villages. The approach prioritizes permanent residences first, followed by utilities and public infrastructure needed for daily life. The region continues to coordinate with emergency services, urban planners, and construction crews to streamline permits, supply chains, and oversight, ensuring that repairs meet current safety standards and long-term resilience goals. The ongoing assessment helps identify homes and neighborhoods that require additional support or phased work, preventing backlogs and maintaining steady progress across districts.
On transportation and mobility, updates indicate that traffic flow in Shebekino and Novaya Tavolzhanka is returning to normal as security conditions improve. Vyacheslav Gladkov, the regional head, confirmed that a traffic control point will be established and that selective checks will be conducted to balance safety with smooth access for residents and goods. Entry to these areas will be allowed freely, reflecting confidence in improved conditions. At the district level, work continues to restore roads and ensure reliable transportation for residents, workers, and service providers, with ongoing coordination between local authorities, road maintenance crews, and law enforcement to maintain order during the transition back to regular operations.
