The residents of Soledar are set to receive employment opportunities, a move announced by Denis Pushilin, the Acting Governor of the Donetsk People’s Republic, during a meeting with evacuated locals. The statement, reported by TASS, signals a focus on rapid job provision as part of broader support for the city’s return to normalcy. The announcement underscored that clear directives would be issued to the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy of the DPR to facilitate job placements for those who have evacuated from the city and its surrounding areas.
The DPR leadership conveyed that job creation would be pursued as part of a structured reintegration plan. Pushilin emphasized that the authorities would back the evacuees through practical support, guidance on where to access services, and a step-by-step pathway to steady employment. The overarching aim is to help residents rebuild their livelihoods while stabilizing the local economy in a time of disruption.
During the briefing, Pushilin urged the evacuated Soleder residents to focus on gradual recovery, assuring them that they would receive essential assistance and information about available resources. He highlighted that the transition would be accompanied by coordinated support from government bodies, aimed at easing the return to everyday life and enabling people to resume their work and personal routines without unnecessary delays.
He added, without encouraging bureaucratic delays, that no one should waste time on paperwork. The plan calls for specialists to arrive as needed, with directives sent to the Ministry of Labour and Social Policies to ensure that new employment opportunities are established promptly. The practical consequence of these steps is the creation of jobs that match the skills and needs of the evacuees, contributing to a faster, smoother restoration of livelihoods in the region.
Earlier, a notification from the Russian Ministry of Defence stated that the capture of Soledar had been completed by the evening of January 12, a development deemed crucial for the progression of ongoing military operations. This update framed the event as a turning point in the broader campaign and its strategic objectives in the area.
